Buying a used 2021 Audi RS 7? Check these 2 recalls first
The recall list is limited to two medium-severity items, both display-related: possible loss of the dashboard display and a rearview camera image that may not appear. Neither is flagged stop-driving or park-outside. Owner reporting is sparse — four unverified NHTSA complaints, two electrical, plus single mentions of vehicle speed control, power train and engine, with no crashes, fires or injuries. Nothing in this record points to a recurring mechanical defect for the model year.
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.
- Confirm the dashboard display and backup camera both work through several ignition cycles
- Ask whether the two display-related recalls were completed at a dealer
- Test cruise control and throttle response, and check the drivetrain for any warning messages
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Audi dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
