Recalls

Good news: Recall repairs are almost always free. Book with any manufacturer dealer and quote the recall number. Transport Canada’s own wording is that a manufacturer “will almost always make these repairs free of charge”, so being asked to pay for recall work is unusual and worth questioning. Since 2018 the Minister of Transport can order a company to pay for repairs so owners do not bear the cost.

Transport Canada lists: Q5 2022 · SQ5 2022

What is wrong

On a small number of Q5 Sportback and SQ5 Sportback models, the rear hatch lid may not have been manufactured correctly. As a result, the latch could break or detach in a crash and allow the rear hatch to deform more than it is designed to.

Why it matters

A rear hatch that deforms too much during a crash could lead to an increased risk of injury.

What the dealer will do

Audi will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealership to replace the rear hatch lid.

Transport Canada lists: Q5 2018–2022 · SQ5 2018–2022

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, if you spill liquid on the rear seat, or drive through heavy rain or deep water, the gateway control module could be damaged. If this happens, the vehicle may enter emergency mode and suddenly lose power to the wheels. Note: The power steering and braking systems will continue to work. You may also see warning messages on the instrument panel when this happens.

Why it matters

A sudden loss of power to the wheels may increase the risk of a crash.

What the dealer will do

Audi will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to install a protective cover on the gateway control module and seal an underbody seam, as necessary.

Source: Transport Canada — Vehicle Recalls Database; NRCan — Fuel consumption ratings. Data current as of 6 August 2026. Running cost uses Ontario average prices (155 ¢/L, 14.5 ¢/kWh), which are hand-maintained estimates. These are average residential rates. A car’s charging is added on top of what your home already uses, so on a tiered, time-of-use or subsidised tariff it is billed at your top rate rather than this average — which makes the real cost higher, especially in the territories.
