The 2017 Audi S8 has 2 recalls, the most serious being a turbocharger defect where a blocked oil strainer starves the bearings of lubrication, potentially causing the turbine shaft to break or seize and stalling the engine without warning.
The second recall involves the seal around the engine compartment, which can work loose and contact hot engine components, raising the risk of a fire under the hood.
