https://carrecalltracker.com/audi/NHTSA vehicle safety recalls explained in plain English. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v266000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v266000/Fri, 24 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000The driver and front passenger seat belts in some of these vehicles were built incorrectly at the factory. Because of that, a belt may not hold the person in the seat the way it is supposed to during a crash. There is no way to tell from the outside whether your belts are affected, so the dealer needs to check them. A dealer will inspect both front belts and replace them if needed, free of charge. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v240000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v240000/Wed, 15 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000Audi is recalling certain 2019-2023 e-tron Quattro, 2020-2023 e-tron Sportback, and 2024 Q8 e-tron, Q8 Sportback e-tron, SQ8 e-tron and SQ8 Sportback e-tron vehicles. The fastener that joins the brake pedal to the brake booster may have been put together incorrectly at the factory. If it works loose, the brake pedal can come apart from the booster and you would lose braking. Dealers will inspect and tighten that pushrod screw joint. This expands an earlier recall, 24V621. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v125000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/26v125000/Wed, 04 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000These vehicles were already repaired once under an earlier recall, but that work left a software bug behind. Because of it, the lane departure warning — the feature that alerts you when you drift out of your lane — can switch itself off. There is no clear sign that it has turned off, so you could be counting on an alert that never comes. Everything else about the car works normally; only this warning feature is affected. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v900000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v900000/Fri, 19 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0000A software problem can keep the backup camera picture from showing up on the dashboard screen when you shift into reverse. Without that image, you cannot see what is directly behind the car — a person or an object — so you are more likely to hit something while backing up. Audi says the vehicles do not meet the federal rear visibility rule. The dealer will update the software for free. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v899000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v899000/Fri, 19 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0000On certain 2025 Audi Q6 E-Tron, SQ6 E-Tron and related Sportback E-Tron models, the rear seat belt has a locking feature that is supposed to click on and hold a child seat tightly in place. That feature may not engage, so a child seat installed with the seat belt could move around instead of staying firmly secured. Dealers will inspect the right and left rear seat belt assemblies and replace them if needed, at no cost to you. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v777000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v777000/Wed, 12 Nov 2025 00:00:00 +0000The buckles for the driver's and front passenger's seat belts may be missing a rivet — the small metal pin that fastens the buckle to the short strap anchoring it to the seat. Without that rivet, the buckle may not hold as designed in a crash, so the belt might not keep you properly in your seat and you could be hurt more badly. Dealers will replace both front seat belt buckles at no cost to you. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v638000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v638000/Wed, 24 Sep 2025 00:00:00 +0000Inside each front seat belt is a spring-loaded bar that helps the belt hold you during a crash. On these cars, that bar may have been damaged while the belts were being built. Nothing looks or feels different day to day, but in a crash a damaged bar can break, and the belt may not hold the person in the seat properly. The same problem covers certain Volkswagen GTI, Golf R and other Audi models. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v637000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v637000/Wed, 24 Sep 2025 00:00:00 +0000The screws holding the high-pressure fuel pump in place may not have been tightened enough at the factory. If they work loose, gasoline can leak out under the hood, and any spark or hot surface nearby could set it on fire. Only one SQ7 was built with this problem, and Audi says that vehicle has already been fixed. Dealers inspect and tighten the connections, and replace the pump and fuel lines if needed. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v294000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v294000/Wed, 07 May 2025 00:00:00 +0000On certain 2022 through 2024 Audi Q5 Quattro and Q5 Sportback Quattro models, the screws that hold the cover on top of the engine may not have been tightened properly at the factory. Over time those screws can work loose. When that happens, engine oil can seep out from under the cover. Oil escaping onto hot engine parts can catch fire. Dealers will inspect the screws and replace them if needed. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v225000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v225000/Wed, 09 Apr 2025 00:00:00 +0000The camera that shows what is behind you when you back up may display a fuzzy, unclear picture. A blurry image makes it harder to see people, pets or objects behind the car while reversing. Because the picture is not clear enough, these vehicles do not meet the federal rear visibility rule. A dealer will fit a new rearview camera, and will also check the surround view cameras and replace them if needed. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v226000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v226000/Wed, 09 Apr 2025 00:00:00 +0000On these Audi Q6 and SQ6 electric SUVs, the backup camera picture may come up late or not turn on at all after you shift into reverse. Federal rules require the image to show when you back up, and these vehicles do not meet that rule. Without it, you see less of what is behind the SUV, so there is a greater chance of backing into someone or something. A dealer will update the camera's software for free. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v201000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v201000/Mon, 31 Mar 2025 00:00:00 +0000A software error can make the main dashboard display go blank. That screen is where your speedometer, fuel gauge and warning lights live, so if it quits you will not know how fast you are going or whether the car is trying to warn you about something else. A dealer reloads the instrument panel software at no charge, and no parts are needed. Audi mailed owner letters on April 24, 2025, so the fix is available now. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v125000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v125000/Fri, 28 Feb 2025 00:00:00 +0000These electric vehicles have a part called the on-board charger that keeps the small 12-volt battery topped up. That battery runs the car's basic electronics. If the charger fails, the 12-volt battery stops being charged, and the vehicle can lose drive power — meaning it may stop pulling and coast to a stop, possibly in traffic. The dealer will replace the on-board charger free of charge. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v082000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v082000/Wed, 12 Feb 2025 00:00:00 +0000When you start these vehicles, the computer that runs the backup camera can glitch and the camera picture may not appear on the screen. Without that picture you cannot see what is directly behind you when you back up, which is how federal rules say the camera has to work. A dealer will reload the camera computer's software for free. Volkswagen owners were told parts may not be ready yet and will get a second letter when the fix is available. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v080000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/25v080000/Wed, 12 Feb 2025 00:00:00 +0000The large battery in these plug-in hybrids can get too hot, and an overheating battery can start a fire. For now, dealers are installing monitoring software that watches the battery; Audi checks the data from cars that report in and will contact owners who need to stop charging. If Audi cannot see your car's data, do not charge the battery at all until the permanent fix is ready. The software and the eventual battery work are free. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/24v898000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/24v898000/Wed, 27 Nov 2024 00:00:00 +0000The large battery in these plug-in hybrid Audi Q5 and A7 models can overheat, which can start a fire. Until the fix is available, owners are told not to charge the vehicle. Volkswagen is also watching vehicle data online and contacting owners directly when needed. The final repair is new monitoring software installed by the dealer, free of charge; the notice also refers to replacing the battery. A newer recall has since replaced this one. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/24v726000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/24v726000/Mon, 30 Sep 2024 00:00:00 +0000On certain 2022-2024 e-tron GT and RS e-tron GT models, a section inside the large battery that powers the car can short out, which can cause a fire. The permanent fix is new monitoring software a dealer installs at no charge. Until that is available, Audi either watches your battery data remotely or has a dealer inspect it and replace battery sections if needed. Cars already repaired under the earlier recall still need this new repair. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/24v621000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/24v621000/Mon, 19 Aug 2024 00:00:00 +0000The fastener that joins the brake pedal to the brake booster, the part that passes your foot pressure on to the brakes, may have been put together wrong at the factory. If it lets go, the pedal comes away from the booster and you can lose braking. That can happen suddenly while you are driving. A dealer will inspect the brake booster and repair it at no cost. Audi mailed owner letters in October and November 2024. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/24v465000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/24v465000/Thu, 20 Jun 2024 00:00:00 +0000The brake hoses at the front wheels of some 2022 through 2024 Audi e-tron GT and RS e-tron GT cars can develop tears. A torn hose leaks brake fluid, and that knocks out part of the braking system. You may find the brake pedal sinking farther than usual and the car taking much longer to stop. Dealers will replace the front brake hoses free of charge. Owner letters were mailed in August 2024. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/24v361000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/24v361000/Wed, 22 May 2024 00:00:00 +0000Some 2022-2024 Q4 e-tron and Q4 e-tron Sportback vehicles were built with the wrong software in the module that controls the headlights. Because of that mistake, the parking lights may not work the way they should when the headlights are on and you switch on a turn signal. That makes your car harder for other drivers to see in those moments. These vehicles do not meet the federal rule for lights. A dealer reloads the correct software. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/24v251000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/24v251000/Wed, 03 Apr 2024 00:00:00 +0000An electrical connection inside the front passenger seat can work loose. That connection belongs to the system that senses whether someone is sitting in the seat, and if it comes loose the front passenger airbag is switched off. In a crash, that airbag would not inflate to protect the person riding up front, so injuries could be worse. The dealer will replace the seat's occupant detection control unit free of charge. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/24v228000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/24v228000/Fri, 22 Mar 2024 00:00:00 +0000On some 2022-2024 Audi e-tron GT and RS e-tron GT electric cars, the big battery that powers the car can short circuit inside one of its modules, and that can start a fire. Until the car is repaired, Audi says to charge it only up to 80 percent. At the dealer, technicians read the battery's data and replace any battery modules that need it, free of charge. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/24v110000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/24v110000/Wed, 14 Feb 2024 00:00:00 +0000A seal on a small pump inside the fuel tank can fail. Gasoline then flows into the system that is supposed to catch only fuel vapors, and it can leak out of the charcoal canister under the car. Leaking gasoline near anything hot or sparking can catch fire. Dealers will replace that pump for free. If your car was already fixed under the earlier 2016 recall, it still needs this newer repair. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/23v868000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/23v868000/Wed, 20 Dec 2023 00:00:00 +0000There is a side airbag built into the driver's seat that is supposed to inflate between you and the door in a side crash. On these vehicles it may not have been mounted to the seat frame correctly at the factory, so the car does not meet the federal side-impact protection rule. If the airbag is not held in place properly, it may not hold you the way it should in a crash, and you could be injured more badly. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/23v867000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/23v867000/Wed, 20 Dec 2023 00:00:00 +0000Some of the modules inside the large high-voltage battery pack can get too hot. A battery that overheats can catch fire. Audi's fix is to install onboard software that keeps watch on how each battery module is performing so a problem can be caught, and to replace any modules that turn out to be affected. Owner letters went out in April 2025, so the repair is available now at no cost to you. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/23v842000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/23v842000/Wed, 13 Dec 2023 00:00:00 +0000These Audis came with a portable charging cable that plugs into a 220/240-volt outlet, the kind used for a large appliance. At the 100% charge setting, the cable can draw more electricity than some home outlets can handle, and the outlet or the cable can get dangerously hot. Overheating like this can start a fire. Audi says to stop using that cable for now and charge with the 110-volt cable or at a public charging station until you receive a free replacement. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/23v601000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/23v601000/Fri, 25 Aug 2023 00:00:00 +0000Some of these cars left the factory with the wrong label on the brake fluid reservoir cap. That cap tells whoever tops up the brakes which fluid to use, so a wrong label can lead a repair shop — or you — to pour in the wrong type. The wrong brake fluid can weaken how well the car stops. A dealer will look at the cap and replace it free of charge if it is the wrong one. Letters went out in October 2023. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/23v212000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/23v212000/Wed, 29 Mar 2023 00:00:00 +0000The windshield has a small heater that keeps the forward-facing camera clear. On these Q7s, the camera's control software does not match that heater, and the heater can get too hot. An overheating heater element can start a fire. An Audi dealer will update the camera software and replace the heater element at no cost to you. Audi expected to mail owner letters on May 26, 2023, so contact a dealer if yours has not arrived. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/22v861000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/22v861000/Mon, 21 Nov 2022 00:00:00 +0000If someone spills a drink in the back seat of these Audis, the liquid can soak through and reach an electronics box underneath called the gateway control module. Liquid on that module can make it shut down, and when it does the engine suddenly loses power while you are driving — a real problem if you are merging or passing. Dealers will fit a protective cover over the module so spills cannot get to it. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/22v815000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/22v815000/Mon, 31 Oct 2022 00:00:00 +0000The tire pressure warning system may be slow to catch a problem in one situation: when all four tires are losing air at the same time. The system compares the tires to each other, so if they all go down together it may not warn you quickly enough. Driving on badly underinflated tires raises the chance of a crash. Dealers will update the system's software for free. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/22v806000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/22v806000/Wed, 26 Oct 2022 00:00:00 +0000The main unit that runs the screen in the dashboard can be damaged inside when you shut the car off. The next time you start the car, the backup camera picture may not appear on the screen. Federal rules require a working rear view image, so these vehicles no longer meet that standard. Without the camera you cannot see small children, pets, or objects directly behind the vehicle when reversing. Dealers replace the unit at no charge. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/22v753000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/22v753000/Fri, 07 Oct 2022 00:00:00 +0000Inside the engine, the bearings that let the connecting rods spin smoothly can become damaged. When that happens the engine can fail and the vehicle can stall while you are driving. If the damage also causes engine oil to leak, the leaking oil can start a fire. Dealers will inspect the engine on affected Audi Q5 and Q5 Sportback, Volkswagen Atlas and Atlas Cross Sport vehicles and replace the engine if necessary, free of charge. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/22v742000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/22v742000/Wed, 05 Oct 2022 00:00:00 +0000A software problem in the infotainment system can leave the screen blank or black when you shift into reverse, instead of showing the view from the backup camera. With no picture, you cannot see a person, a child, or an object directly behind the car while you are backing up, so it is much easier to hit something you never saw. The dealer fixes it by updating the infotainment software; nothing needs to be replaced. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/22v673000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/22v673000/Thu, 08 Sep 2022 00:00:00 +0000A small vent pipe inside the fuel tank may have been damaged while the tank was being put together at the factory. The vent pipe lets air move in and out as the tank fills. If it is damaged, fuel can push back up and spill out of the filler neck when you open the gas cap. Spilled gasoline can splash on you or on the ground, which can cause injury. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/22v516000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/22v516000/Wed, 20 Jul 2022 00:00:00 +0000A part inside the fuel pump can break, which can make the pump stop working. The fuel pump is what feeds gasoline to the engine, so if it fails the engine can shut off while you are driving. That can happen without warning, in traffic or at highway speed. This covers certain 2019-2021 Audi Q8 and 2020-2021 Audi Q7 vehicles. Dealers will replace the fuel pump at no cost to you. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/22v155000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/22v155000/Mon, 14 Mar 2022 00:00:00 +0000Certain Audi A6, A7, S6, S7, RS6 Avant, RS7 and A6 Allroad vehicles have a sensor in the fuel tank that can stick. When it sticks, the fuel gauge on your dashboard shows the wrong amount of fuel, so you may believe you have more gas than you really do. You could then run out of fuel unexpectedly and have the engine shut off while driving. Dealers will install a new sensor in the tank free of charge. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/22v034000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/22v034000/Wed, 26 Jan 2022 00:00:00 +0000These Audis were part of an earlier recall (21V-295) that involved work on the rear axle. Afterward, the shop was supposed to check that the rear wheels were still lined up correctly, and on some cars that check was skipped. If the rear axle is out of alignment, the tires can wear out early or wear unevenly, which increases the chance of a crash. Dealers will inspect the rear axle, adjust the alignment if needed, and replace any badly worn tires at no charge. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/21v947000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/21v947000/Wed, 08 Dec 2021 00:00:00 +0000Audi found that spilled drinks in the back seat, or water leaking in through a poorly sealed spot underneath the car, can soak a computer module that lets the car's systems talk to each other. If that module gets wet it shuts down, and the engine can suddenly lose power while you are driving. Dealers will fit a protective cover over the module and seal the gap under the body at no cost to you. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/21v874000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/21v874000/Wed, 10 Nov 2021 00:00:00 +0000The front passenger seat has a sensor mat that tells the car whether someone is sitting there, so the passenger airbag knows when to work. On these cars, the cable running between the seat heater and that sensor can develop a bad connection. The car then thinks something is broken and shuts the passenger airbag off, meaning it would not inflate in a crash. If your car was already fixed under the earlier 2019 recall, it still needs this new repair. https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/21v825000/https://carrecalltracker.com/recall/21v825000/Wed, 20 Oct 2021 00:00:00 +0000A software glitch in certain Audi models, including the S8, can keep the backup camera picture from showing up on the screen when you first shift into reverse. Federal rules require that image to appear, so these vehicles do not meet the standard. Without the picture, you cannot see what is directly behind you, which makes backing into a person or object more likely. Dealers will reprogram the infotainment screen settings free of charge.
