The 2023 Audi RS Q8 has 3 recalls, the most serious being an improperly mounted driver's seat side airbag that may fail to inflate correctly in a crash, leaving the driver without intended side-impact protection.
The airbag issue stems from the seatback frame mounting, and prior repair attempts may not have fully resolved the problem across all affected vehicles. Separately from airbag concerns, a software error can prevent the rearview camera image from appearing on the display when the vehicle is in reverse, reducing the driver's ability to see pedestrians, cyclists, or objects behind the car.
