2021 Audi RS 7 recalls
Rearview Camera May Not Display, Raising Crash Risk
A software error can prevent the rearview camera image from showing on the display as intended.
Instrument panel may fail, hiding speed and warning lights
A software error can cause the instrument panel display to fail, so critical information such as the speedometer and warning lights may not be shown to the driver.
Wrong brake fluid could reduce braking and raise crash risk
A brake fluid reservoir cap may have been mislabeled at the factory, which can lead to the wrong type of brake fluid being used.
Liquid Spills Can Shut Down Engine Power
Liquid spilled in the rear seat can penetrate the vehicle and cause the gateway control module to shut down.
Rearview camera may show blank screen in reverse
A software problem can cause the rearview camera display to show a blank or black screen instead of the camera image when the vehicle is put in reverse.
Fuel Gauge May Read Wrong, Risking Stalls and Crashes
The fuel level sender inside the fuel tank may stick, so the instrument cluster can show an inaccurate fuel level.
Rear axle misalignment can cause uneven tire wear and crash risk
Audi is recalling certain vehicles because the rear axle alignment may not have been inspected after repairs made under an earlier recall were performed.
Rear Seat Belt May Fail to Secure Child Car Seats
Rear seat belt retractors in these vehicles may deactivate early, which can stop a child restraint system from being held securely in place.
Engine Cracks Can Cause Stalling, Oil Leaks, and Fire
Cracks may develop on the surface of the engine cylinder bore.
Rear axle lock nut can break, risking loss of control
A lock nut on the trailing arm of the rear axle can break over time because of stress corrosion.
Passenger Air Bag May Not Deploy Properly or May Eject Debris
A passenger air bag may have been manufactured with an incorrect score line, the weakened seam that controls how the bag opens.
Side Airbag May Deploy Late in a Side Crash
The electrical connector on the door crash sensor in either front door can detach.

What owners report
This website shows the wrong information. Recall was successfully repaired but it shows here as unrepaired.
While driving, car suddenly started overheating. Warning message asked me to pull over and let the car run idle. However, I was on a free way that was under construction and all shoulders were closed. So no way for me to stop for at least 4 miles. I was afraid that the engine would blow while driving the whole time. Took it to the dealer and they told me that the water pump is faulty. After looking at some Audi forums, it seems like this is a common issue with these vehicles. Iâm surprised there has not been a recall since I am not the first person that this has happened to.
The car continues to smell like coolant and burns excessive oil. It has been taken in for service. Repairs have been attempted but problem still exists. On one occasion, service records indicate a test drive when the mileage remained the same. The oil consumption test I do not believe was performed correctly as I did not get the specific data metrics or points regarding starting point of measurement and end point. They also completed the test at only 1200 miles after requesting for them not to. I am concerned they are trying to hide a design flaw since they redesigned the piston rings when cars were burning excessive oil, bulletin # MC-10245613-0001. They continue to deny oil consumption iss
The car stopped in the middle of the intersection due to a 48V issue that is back ordered worldwide. It has been in the shop five times in reference to this stopping multiple times in the road.
