Known issues on the 1991 V8 Quattro. Four recalls are on federal record for this model year. The first covers the rear speaker amplifiers, where a leaking capacitor can create an unwanted conductive path that overheats the amplifier and poses a fire risk. The second covers the cruise control rod, which can bind and impede the throttle plate's return to idle. The third covers the trunk jack instruction label, which is incorrect for the jack supplied with the vehicle and can lead to the jack collapsing during use. The fourth covers the front air bag sensors, which can fail to meet durability standards over the vehicle's life and inadvertently deploy the air bag restraint system without warning. Owners have filed 2 complaints for the year, and no technical service bulletins are logged. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.
From a rear speaker amplifier check to an air bag sensor inspection or a routine service interval, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 1991 V8 Quattro.
