Known issues on the 2012 A7 Quattro. Five recalls are on federal record for this model year. Two cover the Passenger Occupant Detection System: in one, stress or wear in the front passenger seat's body-sensing mat can cause the PODS control module to malfunction so the front passenger air bag may not deploy properly in a crash; in the other, on vehicles with heated and cooled seats, the PODS control module may malfunction and prevent the passenger-side air bags from deploying in a crash. Three recalls cover the fuel system: a fuel line with a compression point that can weaken, a fuel hose in the engine compartment that can degrade, and a fuel injection system that may experience a leak — each of which can leak fuel near an ignition source and raise the risk of fire. Owners have filed 30 complaints for this model year.

Whether you're inspecting a fuel line for the compression-point weakness or verifying the passenger seat's occupant-detection mat, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2012 A7 Quattro.
