Volkswagen of America, Audi's parent company, is issuing a recall on 2012 Audi Q5 models equipped with a glass moonroof, which could break when exposed to extremely cold temperatures.

The Problem: In extreme cold weather conditions, the front moonroof glass could break, creating a distraction hazard and possibly causing cuts and injuries to the driver and front passenger.
