The affected vehicles were manufactured from June 21, 2011, through Dec. 9, 2011. (You can check your vehicle’s build date on a sticker on the driver-side doorjamb.) The affected SUVs are equipped with a front sunroof glass panel that may break in extremely cold temperatures. If this happens while driving, it could injure and distract the driver, increasing the risk of an accident.

Audi will notify owners starting Aug. 7, and dealers will replace the sunroof glass for free. Owners can call parent Volkswagen at 800-822-8987 or NHTSA’s vehicle safety hotline at 888-327-4236 for more info.

Hellbent on finding a journalism job after earning an English degree from DePaul University, I stumbled into the automotive industry in 2003 — much to the delight of my Corvette-obsessed dad. After working as an editor at Consumer Guide Automotive for several years, I joined Cars.com in 2011 and am currently an expert reviewer, certified car-seat technician and mom of three. I wear a lot of hats — many of them while driving a minivan. My first car was a 1994 Mercury Tracer, and I currently drive a 2012 Mazda5.
