Buying a used 2024 Audi SQ8? Check these 2 recalls first
Like the 2024 SQ7, this SQ8 carries just two recall items: a driver seat airbag that may be loose, and Audi's recurring rearview camera image failure. Neither is flagged stop-driving or park-outside. NHTSA lists two unverified owner complaints with no crashes, fires or injuries; the areas named are electrical system, lane departure and forward collision avoidance, which points toward driver-assistance and camera electronics rather than the engine or drivetrain.
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 the driver seat airbag recall repair by VIN
- Confirm the backup camera displays reliably from a cold start
- Check lane departure and forward collision warnings for fault 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.
