Known issues on the 2019 S5. Four recalls are on federal record for this model year. The first covers rear axle alignment: a follow-up inspection tied to an earlier recall may not have been performed, leaving the rear axle out of alignment and causing premature or uneven tire wear that raises the risk of a crash. The second covers the rear non-powered axle assembly, where a lock nut on the trailing arm can break from stress corrosion, misaligning the axle and risking a loss of control. The third covers the seats: a faulty connection between the seat heater and the Passenger Occupant Detection System can cause the software to misdiagnose a malfunction and disable the passenger air bag. The fourth covers the front shock absorbers, whose mounting forks may crack and let the shock absorbers loosen, impairing steering. Owners have filed 6 complaints for the year. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.

Whether you're inspecting the rear axle hardware, verifying air bag system wiring, or checking the front shock absorber mounts, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2019 S5.
