The 2015 Audi S7 has 3 recalls, the most serious involving the turbocharger, where a blocked oil strainer starves the bearings, potentially causing the turbine shaft to break, the engine to stall, and the vehicle to lose power unexpectedly.
A sensor mat inside the front passenger seat can wear or crack over time, causing the passenger occupant detection system to malfunction and the front passenger airbag to fail to deploy in a crash. There is also a label error on the tire information placard, which lists the maximum combined load capacity as roughly 150 lbs higher than the correct figure, meaning a driver following that label could unknowingly overload the vehicle.
