The 2022 Audi S6 has 4 recalls, the most serious involving liquid spilled in the rear seat penetrating the gateway control module and causing a sudden loss of engine power while driving.
The fuel system carries its own visibility concern: the fuel level sender can stick in place, causing the gauge on the instrument cluster to display an incorrect reading. A driver following that reading may run the tank dry unexpectedly, stalling the engine without warning. On the visibility side, two recalls address rearview camera failures. In one case, a software error can prevent the camera image from appearing at all when reversing. The other involves the infotainment screen going inoperative and similarly leaving the driver without a rear view. Both failures increase the chance of a back-over incident, particularly in tight spaces where the camera is the primary tool for seeing what is behind the vehicle.
