2021 Audi S7 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.
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.
