9 recalls across 8 model years
The Audi A6 Allroad has 9 recalls covering 2020 through 2026 model years, with the most serious affecting 2020-2022 vehicles where liquid spilled in the rear seat can reach the gateway control module, shut it down, and cause a sudden loss of engine power while driving.
The 2020-2021 model years have a passenger airbag where the score line may not have been cut correctly during manufacturing, meaning the bag can fail to deploy in a crash or eject plastic fragments into the cabin. The 2021 model year has a separate rear seatbelt retractor issue where a child restraint system may not be properly secured, reducing protection in a crash. Also on 2021 models, a software error can cause the instrument panel to go blank, taking the speedometer and warning lights with it, and a mislabeled brake fluid reservoir cap can lead to the wrong fluid being added, which degrades braking performance over time.
The 2022 model year has a fuel level sender that can stick and display an inaccurate reading, potentially causing the engine to stall without warning when the tank runs dry sooner than expected. Across 2021-2022 models, a separate software fault can make the touchscreen-based rearview camera display go dark, removing rear visibility when backing up. A similar rearview camera display issue from a different software error affects a broader range of model years from 2020 through 2026. On 2020-2021 vehicles, rear axle misalignment can cause uneven or accelerated tire wear that raises the risk of a handling problem or blowout.
