Recall Roundup: Toyota Recalls Tundra Pickups

During the past week, Toyota recalled more than 130,000 Tundra pickup trucks, while several other automakers announced minor safety recalls. Details are below, in alphabetical order by vehicle brand.

2013 Audi Q7

Volkswagen of America, parent of luxury auto brand Audi, is recalling 1,814 model-year 2013 Audi Q7 vehicles manufactured June 5, 2012, to November 29, 2012 and equipped with a 3.0-liter TDI engine. In the affected vehicles, a check valve in the engine may become contaminated with plastic debris and could allow engine oil to leak into the brake booster, which might cause the brake booster diaphragm to rupture. This could cause loss of power braking assist and increase the risk of a crash.

Volkswagen will notify owners, and dealers will replace a vacuum line, free of charge. Dealers will also inspect the brake booster system for oil contamination and, if oil contamination is present, additional components will be replaced, free of charge. The recall began on September 24, 2014. Owners may contact Audi at 1-800-253-2834. Volkswagen's number for this recall is 47L8; owners may also refer to National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) campaign number 14V516000.

2013-2014 Cadillac XTS

2014 Chevrolet Impala

General Motors (GM) is recalling a total of five model-year 2013-2014 Cadillac XTS vehicles manufactured April 11, 2013, to June 27, 2013, and 2014 Chevrolet Impala vehicles manufactured May 13, 2013, to November 5, 2013. The affected vehicles may have left the factory with the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) set to "manufacturing mode." In manufacturing mode, the vehicle's air bags will not deploy in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of occupant injury.
