Buying a used 2021 Audi S7? Check these 10 recalls first
The 2021 Audi S7 has 10 recalls spanning passenger airbags, rear axle hardware and alignment, rear belts, fuel sensing, liquid-spill power loss, a wrong brake fluid cap, camera displays, and the instrument panel display. That breadth makes a complete VIN-specific repair history particularly relevant. Its 3 NHTSA owner complaints are unverified reports, with ELECTRICAL SYSTEM listed in 3 and POWER TRAIN and FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE in 1 each. No crashes, fires, or injuries are 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.
- Verify airbag, rear belt, rear axle, and brake fluid cap recall repairs.
- Confirm fuel sensor and liquid-spill power-loss recall completion.
- Test camera and instrument displays, and check driver-assistance warnings.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Audi dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
