SUSPENSION:REAR:AXLE:NON-POWERED AXLE ASSEMBLY
Rear axle misalignment may cause premature or uneven tire wear, increasing the risk of a crash.
4 safety recall campaigns, 6 owner complaints filed with NHTSA.
Complaints are reports from owners of this model year, not findings about any particular vehicle, and a model that sold in large numbers will collect more of them. They are counted here as filed; nothing is inferred from them.
Rear axle misalignment may cause premature or uneven tire wear, increasing the risk of a crash.
A disabled passenger air bag increases the risk of injury in the event of a crash.
A broken lock nut may misalign the rear axle, causing a loss of control and increasing the risk of a crash.
Loose shock absorbers may impair vehicle steering, increasing the risk of crash.
Two 2019 AUDI S5s can have entirely different histories, and a recall campaign usually covers a build-date window rather than a whole model year — which a VIN does not encode, so only the door-jamb label settles it. Scanning the VIN adds the decode, the crash tests, the fuel economy and the complaints matched to that exact engine, trim and assembly plant.
