Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. \(Volkswagen\) is recalling certain model year 2010\-2013 Audi A8 vehicles manufactured May 15, 2010, to May 14, 2012.  The affected vehicles have a coolant valve that may leak, allowing coolant to enter the engine control module causing a loss of power or the engine to stall. Built 2010\-05\-15 to 2012\-05\-14.

## Canada (Transport Canada), as of 2026-10-19

- [2016409](/recalls/tc/2016409.md), 2016-08-22: Electrical. On certain vehicles, engine coolant could leak through a coolant valve connection. This could cause coolant to migrate into the engine control module, potentially resulting in an electrical short and an engine stall. This would result in a loss of motive power, which could increase the risk of a crash. Correction: Dealers will replace the coolant valve, inspect for coolant migration and repair as necessary.
