The Dutch register holds 27 distinct campaigns against the Audi Q5; NHTSA has 25. It is one of the few nameplates where Europe’s file is the longer one, and there are 27,767 of them on Dutch roads.

all years on file
the Dutch road
The Dutch register holds 2 more distinct campaigns against the Audi Q5 than NHTSA has recorded.
What those campaigns were about
NHTSA files every campaign against the system at fault. For the Audi Q5, the American record breaks down like this: counted once per campaign, not once per model year.
| Electrical system | 4 |
|---|---|
| Seat belts | 3 |
| Air bags | 3 |
| Engine and engine cooling | 3 |
| Service brakes, hydraulic | 2 |
| Structure | 2 |
| Power train | 1 |
| Fuel system, gasoline | 1 |
What this does not mean. A larger count on one side is not proof that the other country's owners were abandoned. Model variants differ between markets, an American campaign can cover an engine or body never sold in Europe, and a privately imported car has no national importer obliged to write to its owner, which is itself worth knowing. We publish the difference as a measured fact and an open question, never as an accusation.

US figures are distinct NHTSA campaign numbers for vehicle recalls, read from NHTSA's published bulk file, last read 10 September 2026. Dutch figures are campaigns recorded by the Netherlands vehicle register; the fleet count is the Netherlands vehicle register's vehicle register. One campaign counts once however many model years it covers.
What the Q5 record is mostly about
Recalls are not interchangeable, and this model’s are not spread evenly. The single largest group is electrical system, with 4 of the 25 American campaigns filed against it, followed by seat belts (3) and air bags (3). The full breakdown is in the table above, counted once per campaign rather than once per model year: a single campaign covering six years of Q5 production counts once here, which is not how most recall counts are quoted.
With 27,767 on the Dutch register, this is a common car here, which makes the difference between the two countries’ files worth more than a footnote.
Check an Audi Q5
A recall lookup tells you what is open on your car today. It does not tell you whether the notice was edited after it was published: manufacturers revise them, and the new version replaces the old one on the public record. We keep the originals, hashed and dated. Check an Audi Q5 against ours, or look your own car up by country.
How these two registers are compared, why most models cannot be compared at all, and which forty can: the method is here. Figures rebuild themselves from NHTSA’s bulk file and the Netherlands national vehicle register’s open data; freshness is public on the status page.
