## What is wrong

Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. \(Audi\) is recalling certain 2018\-2019 Audi RS5 Coupe vehicles.  An incorrect positive battery terminal cover was installed.


## What can happen

In the event of a rear crash, the incorrect cover can cause the 12\-volt power supply to be compromised, preventing the vehicle doors from being opened from the outside, or the hazard warning lights from functioning, increasing risk of injury.


## The remedy

Audi will notify owners, and dealers will replace the positive terminal cover, free of charge.  The recall began January 19, 2021.  Owners may contact Audi customer service at 1\-800\-253\-2834.  Audi's number for this recall is 27i6.


## Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1\-888\-327\-4236 \(TTY 1\-800\-424\-9153\), or go to www.safercar.gov.
