AUDI R8 Recalls

The Audi R8 has 3 recalls spanning 2011 through 2022, with the most serious affecting 2021-2022 models where the gearbox may contain insufficient transmission oil, causing clutch slippage and loss of drive power, and potentially leaking oil onto hot exhaust components and starting a fire. The 2017 model year has a separate transmission fluid risk: the gearbox ventilation hose can leak fluid during hard driving, and if that fluid reaches hot engine parts, it can ignite. Going back to the 2011 Spyder only, the fuel supply line can rub against a heat shield in the engine compartment, wear through, and allow fuel to leak near ignition sources.
