Known issues on the 2021 A4. Four recalls are on federal record for this model year. The first covers the rear seat belt automatic locking retractors, which can deactivate early and prevent a child restraint system from securing properly. The second covers rear axle alignment that may not have been inspected following an earlier trailing-arm repair, leaving misalignment that can cause premature or uneven tire wear. The third covers the trailing arm lock nut on the rear axle itself, which can break from stress corrosion and misalign the axle, risking a loss of control. The fourth covers the rearview camera display, which can go blank from a software issue and reduce rear visibility when backing up. 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 and trailing-arm inspection to sorting out a blank backup camera display, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2021 A4.
