The 2000 Audi TT has 7 recalls, the most serious being a fuel line that may have been damaged during production and can leak fuel, creating a fire risk if an ignition source is nearby.
The driver's airbag inflator on certain vehicles may fail to deploy properly in a crash, leaving the driver without adequate protection. The rear suspension on Quattro models has a separate concern: moisture can work into the rear track control arm's mounting bushing and cause corrosion that restricts the arm's movement, which can affect how the rear axle responds during cornering and braking. There is also a handling concern where the steering system responds very sharply to driver input at extremely high speeds, which can make the vehicle difficult to control during sudden lane changes or tight turns at well above posted speed limits.
