The 2023 A8 and S8 range were recall-free at the time of writing, but 2022 models were recalled for one issue relating to the rearview camera display being faulty. 2021 models have seen their fair share of reliability issues, however, with recalls listed by the NHTSA for rear axle alignment issues, rearview camera display problems, seat belt retractor failure, and an engine control module malfunction.
