Known issues on the 2021 SQ5. Five recalls are on federal record for this model year. An unsecured child restraint system can increase the risk of injury during a crash if the rear seat belt automatic locking retractors deactivate early. Rear axle misalignment may cause premature or uneven tire wear, increasing the risk of a crash, after the rear axle alignment was not inspected following an earlier related recall. A gateway control module shutdown will suddenly reduce engine power, increasing the risk of a crash, if a liquid spill or water ingress penetrates the module. A broken lock nut may misalign the rear axle, causing a loss of control and increasing the risk of a crash. A blank rearview camera display can reduce the driver's rear visibility, increasing the risk of a crash, due to a software issue. Owners have filed 11 complaints for the year, and no technical service bulletins are logged.
From a rear axle and trailing arm inspection to diagnosing a gateway control module fault or a rearview camera dropout, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2021 SQ5.
