Known issues on the 2019 Q8. Five recalls are on federal record for this model year. The first covers a steering shaft-to-gear bolt that can loosen, raising the risk of a sudden loss of steering control. The second covers front shock absorber forks that can crack and let the shock absorbers loosen, impairing steering. The third covers a fuel pump component that can break and cause the pump to fail, leading to an engine stall. The fourth covers a software error that can prevent the rearview camera image from displaying, reducing the driver's view behind the vehicle. The fifth, tied to the rearview camera repair, covers a software error that can leave the lane departure warning system deactivated without the driver's knowledge. Owners have filed 107 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 a steering shaft bolt inspection to chasing a fuel pump stall or confirming the rearview camera and lane departure software fix, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2019 Q8.
