Audi's OEM parts catalog confirms service data for this model year, while the engine and trim naming are carried forward from the most recent confirmed model year, so treat exact trim naming and output as subject to confirmation.

Known issues on the 2026 SQ8. One recall is on federal record for this model year, covering the rearview camera: a software error may keep the rearview image from displaying as intended, which reduces the driver's view behind the vehicle, and dealers update the software at no charge. No complaints are logged with NHTSA for this model year.
The rest of the book runs the full SQ8 scope: turbocharged V8 driveline, air suspension and S-specific chassis hardware, brakes, driver assistance and camera systems, body, and cabin electrics.
