Known issues on the 2015 A3 Quattro. Two recalls are on federal record for this model year. The first covers the passenger occupant classification sensor: the passenger occupant detection system can malfunction and switch off the passenger air bag even with the seat occupied, raising the risk of injury in a crash. The second covers the gasoline fuel system: a suction jet pump seal inside the fuel tank can allow fuel into the evaporative emissions system and leak out of the charcoal canister, and a fuel leak near an ignition source raises the risk of fire. Owners have filed 178 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 tracing a passenger air bag fault to inspecting the EVAP fuel tank seal or working through a routine service interval, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2015 A3 Quattro.
