Audi Q7 and Q8 recalled due to transmission leak

Audi Australia has issued a recall of seven examples of its brand-new 2020-2021 Q7 (shown above) and 2019-2021 Q8 SUVs due to a transmission leak.

The recall notice, lodged with the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC), says an oil pipe fitted to the transmission may have been welded incorrectly, which can result in a leak. A similar recall was announced two weeks ago for the Volkswagen Touareg.

The unit in question is the ‘AL552-8Q’ transmission, produced between September 2019 and December 2019.

Audi Australia says if the transmission leaks oil, there is an increased risk of accident and injury to vehicle occupants and other road users.

82,500 Jeep Cherokee recalled over transmission defect

A Jeep Cherokee recall has been ordered for more than 82,500 SUVs to prevent them from unintentionally rolling away.

The recalled 2014-2017 Jeep Cherokees are equipped with two-speed power transfer units (PTUs) that may move between the "differential input splines and the transmission output shaft may cause some input spline teeth to wear off, which may eventually cause a loss of engagement between the transmission and the differential inside the PTU."

This will block power from being transferred between the front wheels and the transmissions, causing a loss of motive power while the Cherokees are in motion. In addition, the PARK function won't work when the Cherokee is stationary.

A loss of motive power is a dangerous condition, and a loss of the PARK function can cause the Cherokee to suddenly roll away.

Mazda received a report in February which talked about a grinding noise caused by caliper installation bolts that were missing. In addition, a Mazda plant in Mexico reported two vehicles suffered the same problem.

Employees said they heard abnormal noises during dynamic inspection on the testing track. In each of these cases, two bolts for mounting the brake calipers completely loosened and detached.

Ford Expeditions and Lincoln Navigators recalled

A Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator recall includes nearly 2,800 SUVs because the attachment brackets for the driver's side second-row seat headrests may not have been welded correctly to the seat frames.

The 2020 Ford Expeditions and Lincoln Navigators violate federal safety standards because the headrests may not protect occupants in crashes.

Ford says a supplier found a headrest that suffered from excessive movement.

The supplier found the headrest attachment bracket was out of position and two of the four welds did not properly penetrate the headrest bracket. The supplier then found a second seat frame with one of four welds that had not penetrated the headrest attachment bracket.

The Ford recall includes 2,620 SUVs in the U.S., 159 in Canada and 19 SUVs in Mexico.
