2017 AUDI Q7 Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2017 Audi Q7 has 8 recalls, the most serious being a steering shaft bolt that can loosen and detach completely, leaving the driver with no steering control. Two separate recalls address the frontal airbag control module software, which can cause the airbags to deploy with more force than appropriate for the type of crash, raising the risk of injury to occupants. A related restraint recall covers airbag and seatbelt pretensioner igniters that may not meet specifications and can fail to deploy properly in a crash. On the steering side, a separate issue affects a narrow production window: the electric power steering assist unit can short circuit, cutting off steering assist and requiring significantly more effort to steer, particularly at low speeds. There are also two third-row seat recalls describing the same concern: the seat back can lurch forward under the load of a frontal collision, failing to hold its occupant in place.
