Known issues on the 2013 S7. Three recalls are on federal record for this model year. The first covers the Passenger Occupant Detection System: stress or wear on the front passenger seat's body-sensing mat can cause the PODS module to malfunction, so the front passenger air bag may not deploy properly in a crash. The second covers the fuel delivery system: a fuel line affected by manufacturing tolerance issues can leak, and a leak near an ignition source may result in a fire. The third covers the turbocharger: a blocked oil supply strainer can starve the turbo bearings of lubrication, letting the turbine wheel contact its housing or the shaft break, which can stall the engine and increase the risk of a crash. Owners have filed 16 complaints for the year. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.

From a PODS air bag fault to a fuel line inspection or a turbocharger oil supply check, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2013 S7.
