2021 AUDI RS 5 Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2021 Audi RS 5 has 5 recalls, the most serious involving a rear axle lock nut that can break and misalign the rear axle, causing the driver to lose control of the vehicle.

A related concern: rear axle misalignment can also cause premature or uneven tire wear, which raises crash risk over time. On the safety equipment side, a rear seatbelt retractor may not properly secure a child restraint system, leaving a child seat inadequately anchored in a crash. There is also a wiring concern specific to Sportback models: the rear light wiring harness may lack abrasion protection near the spare wheel well, and in a rear collision the wires can be damaged, disabling the hazard lights and preventing the doors from being opened from outside. The rearview camera display can also go blank while reversing, reducing the driver's ability to see what is behind the vehicle.
