MY 2015 AUDI S5 IS GETTING FAULTS ON THE STEERING AFTER DRIVING IN THE RAIN ONE NIGHT WHILE DRIVING A RED LIGHT TURN ON AND HAD LOSE ALL POWER STEERING AND WAS NEARLY UN-DRIVABLE. DESCRIPTION NHTSA RECALL NUMBER THE AFFECTED VEHICLES HAVE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING ASSIST SYSTEMS THAT MAY SHUT DOWN AS A RESULT OF A STEERING MOTOR SENSOR FAULT (WHICH COULD ONLY OCCUR WITH VERY COLD AMBIENT TEMPERATURES). IF THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCES A LOSS OF POWER STEERING ASSIST, EXTRA STEERING EFFORT WILL BE REQUIRED AT LOWER SPEEDS, INCREASING THE RISK OF A VEHICLE CRASH. 15V452
