2018 AUDI A5 Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2018 Audi A5 has 4 recalls, the most serious involving front suspension fasteners that may not have been fully tightened, which can allow a front wheel to work loose and raise the risk of a crash. Three recalls involve the airbag system. The passenger airbag can be disabled on certain vehicles when oxidation on the occupant detection cable causes the system to misread a fault and shut the airbag off, leaving the front passenger without protection in a crash. On A5 Coupe models, the head curtain airbags may not unfold correctly during deployment, reducing side-impact protection and increasing the risk of occupant ejection. A separate concern affects A5 Sportback models, where a mounting screw on the passenger airbag module may not be properly tightened, which can interfere with how the airbag deploys in a crash.
