5 NHTSA recalls · 79 owner complaints on file

This first US model year carries four critical recalls, three of them battery- or charging-related: moisture intrusion in the battery, module overheating, and a portable charging cable that can overheat. A fourth covers a brake pedal that can detach from the booster. The rearview camera recall is routine. Owners filed 79 unverified NHTSA complaints, clustered in electrical and propulsion systems, including four crashes, three fires and one injury. None of the recalls carried stop-driving or park-outside warnings.

Before you buy

  1. 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.
  2. Ask for dated proof that both battery recalls — moisture intrusion and module overheating — were completed.
  3. Confirm the original portable charging cable was replaced under recall, or ask which cable comes with the car.
  4. On the test drive, check brake pedal feel and that the rearview camera image displays.
  5. Open recalls are repaired free at any Audi dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
