The 2023 Audi Q7 has 3 recalls, the most serious involving two separate airbag concerns that can leave occupants without protection in a crash.
The first airbag issue affects the front passenger seat sensor, which can incorrectly classify an adult occupant and deactivate the passenger airbag. If that happens, the airbag will not deploy in a crash, removing a key layer of protection for the front passenger. The second involves the driver's seat side airbag, which may have been mounted improperly to the seatback frame. An airbag that is not correctly secured can fail to restrain the driver during a side impact, raising the risk of injury. On the visibility side, a software error can prevent the rearview camera image from appearing when reversing, leaving the driver without a clear view of what is directly behind the vehicle.
