Known issues on the 2020 A5 Sportback. Four recalls are on federal record for this model year. One covers a rear axle alignment check that may have been missed after an earlier repair, leaving premature or uneven tire wear that raises crash risk. Another covers the rear light wiring harness, which can lack anti-abrasion protection near the spare wheel well, risking wire damage in a rear crash that disables the outside door releases and hazard lights. A third covers the rear axle trailing arm lock nut, which can break from stress corrosion and misalign the axle, causing loss of control. The fourth covers a seat heater cable fault that can make the Passenger Occupant Detection System misread a malfunction and disable the passenger air bag. Owners have filed 60 complaints for the year, and no technical service bulletins are logged. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.
Whether you're chasing the rear axle alignment, verifying the tail light harness routing, or servicing the passenger seat sensor, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and correct specification for your specific 2020 A5 Sportback.
