Known issues on the 2020 S8. Four recalls are on federal record for this model year. The first covers the rear axle: misalignment left uninspected after an earlier repair campaign can cause premature or uneven tire wear, increasing the risk of a crash. The second covers the engine control module, where a missing sealing pin can let moisture reach the ECM connector and trigger a malfunction that stalls the engine. The third covers the rear axle trailing arm lock nut, which can break from stress corrosion and misalign the axle, causing a loss of control. The fourth covers the rearview camera, where a software error can prevent the image from displaying, reducing the driver's view behind the vehicle. No complaints or technical service bulletins are logged for the year. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.
From an ECM connector inspection to a rear axle lock nut check or a routine hybrid-system service, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2020 S8.
