Known issues on the 2016 A6 Quattro. Three recalls are on federal record for this model year. The first covers the fuel rail: a fuel leak near an ignition source can increase the risk of a fire. The second covers the auxiliary heater electrical connector, which may have been incorrectly inserted and can build up extra resistance, overheating the connector and raising fire risk. The third covers the Passenger Occupant Detection System sensor mat in the front seat, where stress or wear can cause the module to malfunction so the front passenger air bag may not deploy properly in a crash. Owners have filed 51 complaints for the year and no technical service bulletins are logged. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.
Whether you're tracing a fuel rail leak, checking the auxiliary heater connector or servicing the front passenger seat sensor mat, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2016 A6 Quattro.
