The 2021 Audi A5 Cabriolet has 3 recalls, the most serious involving the rear seatbelt retractors, which can fail to properly secure a child restraint system and raise the risk of injury in a crash.
The remaining two recalls cover visibility and tire wear. The rearview camera can go blank when reversing, leaving the driver without a view of what is behind the vehicle. On the tire side, rear axle misalignment can cause the tires to wear unevenly or prematurely, which can increase the risk of a crash over time.
