Known issues on the 2019 SQ5. Five recalls are on federal record for this model year. A gateway control module can shut down after a liquid spill or water ingress reaches it, suddenly reducing engine power. Wheel arch cover trim can loosen and detach, creating a road hazard. The instrument panel carrier can break from incorrect welding, leaving the passenger frontal air bag without adequate protection in a crash. Rear wheel arch cover trim can also loosen and detach from the vehicle. And a short brake master cylinder casting can cause a sudden loss of brakes, though the electronic parking brake and its emergency brake function still work. Owners have filed 18 complaints for the year, and no technical service bulletins are logged. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.
From a gateway module inspection to reseating wheel arch trim or bleeding the brake master cylinder, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2019 SQ5.
