Known issues on the 2011 A3. Four recalls are on federal record for this model year. Three separate campaigns cover the driver's frontal air bag inflator module, which can explode or rupture under deployment and send metal fragments into the driver or other occupants, risking serious injury or death. A fourth covers the diesel fuel system, where injector line number 2 can develop small cracks from resonance and leak fuel that may ignite in the presence of an ignition source. Owners have filed 42 complaints for the year. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.

From a restraint-system inspection to a routine service interval, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2011 A3 Quattro.
