Known issues on the 2025 SQ8. Two recalls are on federal record for this model year. The first covers the front seat belt anchorage: the driver and front passenger belt buckles may be missing the rivet that secures the buckle to the stalk, so the belt may not properly restrain an occupant in a crash. Dealers replace both front buckles free of charge. The second covers the rearview camera: a software error may prevent the camera image from displaying as intended, which reduces the driver's view behind the vehicle and raises crash risk. Dealers update the software free of charge. No complaints are logged with NHTSA for this model year.
The engine code and trim list above are carried forward from the most recent confirmed model year for this badge; erWin lists this chassis continuing into 2025, so treat exact trim naming and output as subject to confirmation. Service content covers the V8 and its transmission, the quattro driveline, air suspension and brakes, and the body, seat and restraint hardware plus camera and electrical diagnostics that the two recalls above touch.
