Known issues on the 2016 A7 Quattro. Three recalls are on federal record for this model year. The first covers the fuel rails: the left and right fuel rails can leak fuel, and a leak in the presence of an ignition source raises the risk of a fire. The second covers the Passenger Occupant Detection System sensor mat in basic front seats: stress or wear of the body-sensing mat can cause the PODS control module to malfunction, which may keep the front passenger air bag from deploying properly in a crash. The third covers the head curtain side air bags, which may fail to deploy properly in a crash, increasing injury risk to an unbelted passenger. Owners have filed 15 complaints for the year. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.

Whether you're tracing a fuel rail seep, verifying PODS mat continuity, or working through a curtain air bag inspection, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2016 A7 Quattro.
