The 2022 Audi Q4 E-Tron has 7 recalls, the most serious being a head curtain airbag that can tear against the metal part of the front door seal during a crash, leaving occupants without side curtain protection.
On the electrical and charging side, the onboard charging system can overheat and raise the risk of a fire at the outlet or cable. There is also a visibility cluster worth noting: the headlight control module may run incorrect software that causes the parking lights to switch off when the headlights are on and a turn signal is activated, making the vehicle harder for others to see. The rearview camera can display a blank screen when the vehicle is shifted into reverse, reducing what the driver can see behind the car. Separately from the camera issue, the instrument panel may fail to show the correct gear position, which can lead to an unintended rollaway if the driver assumes the vehicle is in park without engaging the parking brake.
