The 2021 Audi A5 Cabriolet has 3 recalls, the most serious involving the rear seatbelt retractors, which can fail to properly secure a child safety seat and raise the risk of injury in a crash.
The remaining two recalls both affect the driver's ability to see hazards around the vehicle. A rear axle alignment issue can cause the rear tires to wear unevenly or prematurely, which over time reduces grip and raises the chance of losing control. Separately on the visibility front, the rearview camera display can go blank when reversing, leaving the driver with no view of what is directly behind the car.
