Upon professional diagnostic inspection at an authorized Audi dealership, technicians discovered destructive metal debris and fragments inside the engine cylinders and oil circuit.This exact mechanical failure, engine block damage, and presentation of metal shavings perfectly mirrors the known manufacturing defect described in NHTSA Safety Recall 22V753 (Audi Recall Campaign 13i5) for improperly machined connecting rod bearings. However, when checking the vehicle's VIN, it shows as currently excluded from the active recall list.The vehicle has experienced the identical catastrophic manufacturing defect identified in the 13i5 campaign, suggesting the vehicle identification parameters of the original safety recall were under-inclusive. The authorized Audi dealership is currently refusing coverage because the VIN is not flagged, despite the identical mechanical failure. Safety Risk Statement:Severe internal engine damage from migrating metal fragments poses an immediate safety hazard. It risks sudden engine seizure, catastrophic power loss, or stalling without warning while operating at highway speeds, significantly increasing the danger of a collision.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2021","productMake":"AUDI","productModel":"Q5 E","manufacturer":"Volkswagen Group of America, Inc."}]}]}
