The 2018 Audi RS 7 has 2 recalls, the more serious being a faulty passenger seat occupant detection system that can prevent the front passenger airbag from deploying properly in a crash.
A stress or wear issue in the sensing mat inside the front passenger seat can cause the detection module to malfunction, leaving the airbag unable to respond correctly when needed. The second recall involves an incorrect tire information label that overstates the vehicle's combined maximum load capacity by about 154 lbs, which could lead to overloading the vehicle if the owner relies on that figure.
