Recalls, owner-reported complaints, investigations and safety data

Data refreshed

Owner complaintsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

Safety recallsA safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
0
InvestigationsNHTSA opens an investigation to examine whether a safety defect may exist. An open investigation is not a determination that a defect exists, and many investigations close without a recall. Investigations can, however, lead to one.
0
Crash or fire reportedComplaints whose submitter recorded that a crash or a fire occurred. These are the reporter's own answers on the NHTSA form, not verified findings.

Steering
Filed May 29, 2025

While reversing out of a parking space, the steering wheel on my 2024 Audi A4 Allroad wagon suddenly locked completely and could not be turned in either direction. A warning message appeared stating “Steering malfunction. Safe to drive.” However, the vehicle was not safe to drive due to complete loss of steering functionality. Restarting the vehicle multiple times did not resolve the issue. The vehicle was towed to an authorized Audi service center. At the dealership, the steering was functional again and no active faults were present. However, the diagnostic scan showed a stored trouble code: U103100 – FlexRay data bus No synchronization, logged at the exact time the failure occurred. The dealership confirmed no visible wiring damage or hardware fault but could not replicate the issue. The battery was tested and not deemed low enough to replace. No software updates or service bulletins were applied. The service center declined to escalate the issue to Audi Corporate, stating that escalation is only permitted if the issue occurs a second time. This incident involved total loss of steering, which poses a serious safety risk. There were no prior warning signs before the failure. The issue has not recurred yet, but the root cause remains unresolved and could endanger the driver and others if it happens while the vehicle is in motion.
