19 recalls for 15 Audi models in 2019

In 2019, Audi announced 19 recalls involving 15 models through the EU Rapex system. The Audi A4, A3 and A6 were the most recalled models.

We’ve sorted all 2019 recalls according to the model into a table below.

Fuel leak onto the engine fuel rail was reported in March 2019 with the Audi A4, A5, A6, A7, A8, S4, S5, and Q7 models manufactured between September 2013 to April 2018. The master brake cylinder’s wall may not be thick enough and the entire hydraulic brake system could fail wit the Audi Q5 produced between 7/2018 – 3/2019. With the same model produced between 7/2015 – 12/2018, the wheelhouse trims may not have been adequately attached to the vehicle and could detach in motion.

In November and December 2018 produced Audi A8, Q7, and Q8 may have not strong enough an unspecified component of the wheel suspension which could break. With several models, there was a problem with the head restraints fitting, while with several others an issue with the towbar.

Due to a faulty seal, moisture could reach the high voltage battery through the cabling of the Audi e-tron‘s charging socket. Consequently, the high-voltage system could short-circuit increasing the risk of fire.

We’ve written about some problems in more detail in separate articles.
