2019 AUDI A5 Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2019 Audi A5 has 3 recalls, the most serious involving rear trailing arm lock nuts that can break and cause a sudden shift in rear wheel alignment, destabilizing the vehicle and raising the risk of losing control. A second suspension recall is linked to an incomplete prior repair: when certain vehicles had earlier suspension work done, rear wheel alignment was not checked afterward, leaving the steering to pull to one side and causing uneven tire wear. Continued driving in that condition can reduce traction, and eventually a tire may lose air pressure and fail. On the safety equipment side, a corroded connection in the passenger seat sensor system can cause the software to incorrectly flag a fault and disable the front passenger airbag, leaving that seat without airbag protection in a crash.
