Audi recalls more than 1 million vehicles worldwide

Luxury carmaker Audi has announced a recall of 1.27 million cars worldwide, including 330,000 in Germany, because of faults with the electrical connections for the auxiliary heating system that could cause a fire.

A spokesman for Audi - a subsidiary of the Volkswagen Group - said the recall will cover A4, A5, A5 Cabriolet and Q5 models built between April 2011 and May 2015.

He also added that some customers have reported smelling a burning smell in their cars, but there have been no fires or accidents caused by the defect.

More than 1.2 million Audis are being recalled over a faulty electrical connection for the auxiliary heater.

Notably, the issue affects all of the models mentioned worldwide. As a result, Audi’s recall has expanded significantly, now covering 875,000 vehicles in Europe, 250,000 in North America, and 47,000 in Asia, bringing the total to 1.27 million vehicles worldwide.

Audi recommends that if your car is one of the models manufactured in the years mentioned above, you can still drive it normally, but if there is a burning smell, you should immediately take it to an Audi dealer for inspection and repair.

BMW sales in China rose 15% to 542,362 units in the first 11 months of 2017. This trend continued in November, with sales up 12%.

Based on the actual usage time of over or under 91 days and the declared price of the enterprise, the taxable price of Audi cars serving the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Forum (APEC) will be reduced by 12% or 10% of the CIF price of newly imported, unused cars.

The General Department of Customs confirmed that the APEC car batch has not yet completed the procedures to be sold as imported cars. Audi Vietnam also said that half of the cars for APEC that have been sold have actually been deposited by customers./.
