The 2022 Audi RS 6 Avant has 5 recalls, the most serious involving liquid spilled in the rear seat reaching the gateway control module and causing a sudden, unexpected loss of engine power while driving.
Three of the remaining recalls address rear camera visibility. A software error can prevent the rearview camera image from appearing when the driver shifts into reverse, leaving a blank screen where the rear view should be. Prior software updates did not fully resolve this across all affected vehicles, which is why multiple separate repair campaigns exist for what is essentially the same blind-spot risk. The touchscreen infotainment display is also involved in a related concern where the rearview camera image fails to appear, again reducing what the driver can see behind the vehicle when backing up. The fifth recall involves a sticking fuel level sender that feeds an inaccurate reading to the instrument cluster gauge, which can cause the engine to run out of fuel and stall unexpectedly even when the gauge shows fuel remaining.
