Known issues on the 2016 A8. Four recalls are on federal record for this model year. The first covers the fuel rails, which can develop a leak that, near an ignition source, raises fire risk. The second covers the fuel supply line to the high-pressure fuel pump, which can turn porous and leak fuel, again with fire risk in the presence of an ignition source. The third covers a seal around the engine compartment that can come loose and contact hot engine components, increasing fire risk. The fourth covers the turbocharger oil supply strainer, which can become blocked and starve the bearings of lubrication, allowing the turbine wheel to contact its housing or the shaft to break, causing an engine stall and increasing the risk of a crash. No complaints or technical service bulletins are logged for this model year.
