Recall Service & Dealership Highlights

Safety Risks You Can't Ignore

The 2021 Audi S7 can be affected by air bag and fuel system issues that present real safety risks if left unaddressed. Specifically, NHTSA records show passenger detection mat (PODS) malfunctions that may prevent the front passenger air bag from deploying correctly, and manufacturer reports of improperly manufactured passenger air bag score lines that could also affect deployment and eject debris into the cabin. Additionally, certain model-year S7 vehicles with specific engines have had fuel line tolerance issues that can create leaks and increase fire risk. Ignoring these recalls risks personal injury, higher insurance claims, and potential legal or inspection complications. Audi North Atlanta’s factory-trained technicians use OEM diagnostics and parts to address these exact defects under the manufacturer’s recall program at no cost to you. Our Roswell service team prioritizes safety first: we will explain the specific NHTSA recall details for your VIN, complete corrective action, and provide documentation showing the repair was performed by an authorized Audi franchise.
