2021 Audi A4 Quattro Service and Repair Manual

Known issues on the 2021 A4 Quattro. Four recalls are on federal record for this model year. The first covers the rear seat belts: the automatic locking retractors can deactivate early, preventing a child restraint system from securing properly. The second covers the tires, where rear axle misalignment left uninspected after an earlier repair can cause premature or uneven tire wear and raise the risk of a crash. The third covers the rear suspension, where a lock nut on the trailing arm can break from stress corrosion, misaligning the rear axle and risking a loss of control. The fourth covers the backup camera display, where a software issue can leave the screen blank in reverse, reducing the driver's rear visibility. Owners have filed 11 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 a backup camera or seat belt retractor diagnosis, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2021 A4 Quattro.
