Known issues on the 2007 A8 Quattro. Two recalls are on federal record for this model year. The first covers the sunroof assembly: the glass may not be properly secured to the frame and can detach from the car while driving, turning into a road hazard and increasing the risk of a crash. The second covers the frontal air bags: a weak battery can cause a low-voltage condition that makes the air bag control unit improperly set a fault code, deactivating the passenger-side frontal air bag (with the warning light and "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF" telltale illuminating to alert the driver) and risking injury to that occupant in a frontal crash if it fires. Owners have filed 4 complaints for the year, and no technical service bulletins are logged. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind both systems are here.
Whether you're inspecting the sunroof mounting, tracing an air bag fault code, or working through a scheduled service on the V8 or W12, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and correct specification for your specific 2007 A8 Quattro.
