Thread: Audi R8 Spyder 4.2 and 5.2 Recall

I just read this in the NYT, the article can be found here.

Looks like Audi was not content with being out done by Ferrari and the 458!

Also, i did a search and nothing came up so if this is a repost, im sorry.

Audi is recalling about 920 of its high-performance R8 Spyders from the 2011-12 model years because of a fire hazard, the automaker told the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

In a notice posted Thursday to the safety agency’s Web site, Audi said that a fuel line could rub against a heat shield, which “could lead to a small fuel leak.” Without elaboration, the automaker attributed the condition “to production tolerances.”

Audi told the agency that it first learned of the problem in June after a customer complained of smelling gasoline. The notice did not say if there were any fires, and Andrew Lipman, a spokesman for Audi, said he had no additional information.

The difference is we haven't seen countless Audi's on fire yet... yay for being proactive!

^haha yeah
