Known issues on the 2010 Q5. Four recalls are on federal record for this model year. Two cover the fuel pump: the flange can crack or its butyl-tape interim repair can fail to fully seal, letting fuel leak near an ignition source and raising fire risk. The other two cover the driver's frontal air bag inflator, which can explode or rupture on deployment and send metal fragments into the vehicle occupants, potentially causing serious injury or death. Owners have filed 99 complaints for the year and no technical service bulletins are logged for the year. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.
Whether you're tracing a fuel-pump flange leak, servicing the driver's air bag module, or working through a routine maintenance interval, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2010 Q5.
