Buying a used 2021 Audi RS 6 Avant? Check these 2 recalls first
A short record: two medium-severity recalls, both about screens — a dashboard display that may go blank and a rearview camera image that may fail to appear. Neither carries a stop-driving or park-outside warning, and nothing on the engine, brakes or suspension is listed. Only four unverified NHTSA complaints exist, three of them electrical, with single reports on wipers/visibility, forward collision avoidance and steering; no crashes, fires or injuries reported.
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.
- Start the car several times and confirm the digital dashboard display comes up each time
- Verify the rearview camera image appears and ask if either display recall was performed
- Test wipers and forward collision avoidance, and note any steering feel that seems off
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Audi dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
