Buying a used 2021 Audi A6 Allroad? Check these 8 recalls first
Eight recalls, the longest list here. Three rated high: a passenger airbag that may not deploy correctly, a rear belt that may not hold a child seat, and engine power loss from spills. Five medium items are mostly screens and labels — two separate backup camera blank-screen recalls, a dashboard display that can go blank, a mislabeled brake fluid cap, and rear axle alignment. Of 25 unverified owner complaints, 14 are electrical; none report crashes, fires or injuries.
Before you buy
- Get the 17-character VIN from the seller and run it at nhtsa.gov/recalls. It shows which recalls are still unrepaired on that exact car.
- Run the VIN against all eight recalls and ask which are still open.
- Check the brake fluid cap label and ask what fluid was last used.
- Verify the dashboard display and backup camera on several cold starts.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Audi dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
