Volkswagen is recalling certain model year 2012 Audi Q5 vehicles, manufactured from June 21, 2011, through December 9, 2011. Some vehicles may be equipped with a front sunroof glass panel that is susceptible to breakage in extremely cold weather/temperature conditions.
NHTSA Campaign ID Number: 12v299000
Component: Sun roof assembly

Consequence: Should the sunroof’s glass break while the vehicle is in use, the falling glass could cut and injure the driver or passengers. It could also distract the driver, increasing the risk of a crash.
