The 2022 Audi A6 has 5 recalls, the most serious being two separate issues that can cut engine power without warning: a short-circuit inside the engine control unit and a gateway control module that can shut down if liquid is spilled in the rear seat.
Both of those failures can leave the driver with a suddenly unresponsive engine in traffic. On the visibility side, two recalls address rearview camera failures where the camera image may not appear when reversing, leaving the driver with no view of what is behind the vehicle. There is also a fuel gauge concern: the fuel level sender can stick and display an inaccurate reading, which may cause the engine to stall unexpectedly if the tank runs dry without warning.
