NHTSA 5-Star Safety Rating
The 2015 Audi S6 has 2 recalls, the most serious involving a turbocharger oil strainer that can become blocked, starving the bearings of lubrication until the turbine wheel contacts its housing or the shaft breaks, which can stall the engine while driving.
The second recall affects vehicles equipped with basic front passenger seats, where the seat's occupant detection mat can wear or stress over time, causing the sensor system to malfunction and potentially preventing the front passenger airbag from deploying properly in a crash.
