The 2022 Audi A6 has 5 recalls, the most serious being two separate defects that can cause sudden engine shutdowns while driving: a short-circuit inside the engine control unit and a gateway control module that can fail if liquid is spilled in the rear seat.
Both of those power-loss issues leave the driver with a stalled engine in traffic, raising the risk of a crash. On the visibility side, two related recalls cover the rearview camera failing to display an image when reversing. Prior repair attempts did not fully resolve the issue, which is why separate filings exist, but in either case the result is the same: the screen stays blank when backing up, removing the view of what is directly behind the vehicle. The fifth recall involves the fuel level sensor, which can stick and send an inaccurate reading to the gauge on the dashboard. If the gauge shows more fuel than is actually in the tank, the engine can run dry and stall without warning.
