The 2003 Audi A6 has 3 recalls, the most serious being fuel system issues: a worn fuel pump can cut off fuel supply and stall the engine while driving, and on vehicles with the 4.2L engine, a cracked fuel tank rollover valve nipple can leak fuel and cause a fire.
The third recall affects vehicles equipped with a 3-spoke sport steering wheel, where the driver's airbag igniter may not have been assembled correctly, leaving the airbag unable to deploy in a crash.
