Audis, VWs recalled to fix air bag defects and coolant pumps

WASHINGTON: Volkswagen AG is recalling hundreds of thousands of cars and SUVs in the US, almost all of them Audi models, to fix two air-bag defects and coolant pumps that may overheat and cause fires.

The larger of two air-bag recalls applies to 234,054 Audi Q5 vehicles from model years 2011 through 2017, the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said in a notice posted last Saturday on its website.
