This page covers 3 recalls and NHTSA crash-test ratings for the 2024 Audi Q7.
5/5 Overall
NHTSA 5-Star Safety Rating
The 2024 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 involves the front passenger seat sensor, which can incorrectly classify an adult occupant and deactivate the front passenger airbag, meaning it will not deploy when needed. The second involves the driver's seat side airbag, which may be improperly mounted to the seatback frame and can fail to properly restrain the driver in a side impact. On the visibility side, a software error can prevent the rearview camera image from appearing when the vehicle is in reverse, leaving the driver without a view of the area directly behind the vehicle while backing up.
