Known issues on the 2020 S4. Three recalls are on federal record for this model year. The first covers rear axle misalignment, which after a prior repair may not have been re-inspected, leading to premature or uneven tire wear and increasing the risk of a crash. The second covers the rear axle's trailing arm lock nut, which can break due to stress corrosion, misaligning the axle and causing a loss of control. The third covers the passenger seat's occupant detection wiring, where a faulty connection to the heater cable can make the system misdiagnose a fault and disable the passenger air bag. Owners have filed 16 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 rear axle alignment check to tracing a passenger air bag disable fault, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2020 S4.
