Known issues on the 2023 RS5. One recall is on federal record for this model year, covering the front passenger occupant classification sensor: an electrical connection at the seat-mounted occupant detection system control module can loosen and deactivate the front passenger air bag, so it will not deploy during a crash. No complaints or technical service bulletins are logged for the year. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind that system are here.
Whether you are tracing the front passenger air bag deactivation issue or working through a routine service interval, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2023 RS5.
