Known issues on the 2014 RS7. Two recalls are on federal record for this model year. The first covers the front passenger occupant classification sensor: stress or wear on the 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, increasing the risk of injury. The second covers the turbocharger: a blocked oil supply strainer can starve the 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 5 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 PODS module fault to a turbocharger oil-supply inspection, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2014 RS7.
