Known issues on the 2017 S8. Two recalls are on federal record for this model year. The first covers the engine compartment seal, which can come loose and contact hot engine components, raising the risk of a fire. The second covers the turbocharger oil supply strainer, which can become blocked and starve the bearings of lubrication, letting the turbine wheel contact the turbocharger housing or the shaft break, causing an engine stall and increasing the risk of a crash. No complaints or technical service bulletins are logged for the year. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind both systems are here.
Whether you're inspecting the engine bay seal, tracing turbocharger oil supply, or working through a routine service interval, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2017 S8.
