The 2017 Audi A8 has 3 recalls, with two posing a fire risk: leaking fuel rails and an engine compartment seal that can come loose and contact hot engine components.
The third recall involves the turbocharger's oil supply strainer, which can become blocked and starve the turbocharger bearings of lubrication. As the bearings wear, the spinning turbine wheel can contact its housing or the shaft can break entirely, causing the engine to stall unexpectedly while driving.
