Known issues on the 2021 RS7 Sportback. Ten recalls are on federal record for this model year. The rear seat belt automatic locking retractors can deactivate early, preventing a child restraint system from securing properly and increasing the risk of injury during a crash. A rear axle alignment check tied to an earlier recall may not have been performed, and the resulting misalignment can cause premature or uneven tire wear, increasing the risk of a crash. A passenger air bag with an incorrectly manufactured score line may not deploy properly and can eject plastic debris into the passenger compartment, increasing the risk of injury during a crash. A door crash sensor connector can detach, delaying activation of the side air bag, curtain air bag and seat-belt pretensioners during a side impact crash, increasing the risk of injury. A trailing arm lock nut on the rear axle can break due to stress corrosion and misalign the axle, causing a loss of control and increasing the risk of a crash. Cracks can develop on the surface of the engine cylinder bore, causing engine damage and a stall or an oil leak, increasing the risk of a crash or fire. The fuel level sender can stick, causing an inaccurate fuel level reading and risking an engine stall from perceived lack of fuel, increasing the risk of a crash. A software issue can display a blank or black screen instead of the rearview camera image when in reverse, reducing rear visibility and increasing the risk of a crash. A gateway control module can shut down after liquid intrusion in the rear seat, suddenly reducing engine power and increasing the risk of a crash. An incorrectly labeled brake fluid cap can result in the use of the wrong type of brake fluid, reducing braking ability and increasing the risk of a crash. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.

From a gateway module electrical fault to a rear axle inspection or a brake fluid service, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2021 RS7 Sportback.
