Recall Summary
The 2021 Audi SQ7 is subject to six distinct safety recall campaigns conducted by Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. (Audi). These recalls address a range of safety defects and non-compliances with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS). The issues include potential failures of the rear seat belt retractors, engine cylinder bore cracks, rear axle misalignment from a prior repair, a blank rearview camera display, a failing instrument panel display, and a separate software error affecting the rearview camera. Owners are urged to have all open recalls addressed promptly to ensure the vehicle’s safety systems function as designed.
Affected Vehicle
– Make: Audi
– Model: SQ7
– Model Year: 2021
– Manufacturer: Volkswagen Group of America, Inc.
Recalled Components
1. Seat Belts (Rear/Other: Retractor) – NHTSA Campaign 21V606000
– Issue: The rear seat belt automatic locking retractors may deactivate prematurely. This prevents a child restraint system from being secured properly, violating FMVSS No. 208 (“Occupant Crash Protection”).
– Risk: An unsecured child restraint system increases the risk of injury during a crash.
– Remedy: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the middle-rear seat belt assemblies free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed August 27, 2021.
2. Engine (Cylinder Bore) – NHTSA Campaign 21V339000
– Issue: Cracks may develop on the surface of the engine cylinder bore.
– Risk: These cracks can lead to engine damage, a sudden engine stall, or an oil leak. An oil leak in the presence of an ignition source increases the risk of a fire, while a stall increases the risk of a crash.
– Remedy: Dealers will replace the entire engine free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed July 9, 2021.
3. Tires (Rear Axle Alignment) – NHTSA Campaign 22V034000
– Issue: Following a previous recall repair (21V-295), the rear axle alignment may not have been properly inspected.
– Risk: Rear axle misalignment can cause premature or uneven tire wear, which increases the risk of a tire failure and a crash.
– Remedy: Dealers will inspect the rear axle, adjust the alignment as needed, and replace any prematurely or unevenly worn tires, all free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed March 3, 2022.
4. Back Over Prevention (Display Function) – NHTSA Campaign 22V742000
– Issue: A software error may cause a blank or black screen to appear instead of the rearview camera image when the vehicle is placed in reverse. This violates FMVSS No. 111 (“Rear Visibility”).
– Risk: A blank rearview camera display reduces the driver’s rear visibility, increasing the risk of a crash while backing up.
– Remedy: Dealers will update the infotainment unit software free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed October 25, 2022.
5. Electrical System (Instrument Cluster/Panel) – NHTSA Campaign 25V201000
– Issue: A software error may cause the instrument panel display to fail.
– Risk: A non-functioning instrument panel may fail to show critical safety information, such as the speedometer, warning lights, or other essential alerts, increasing the risk of a crash.
– Remedy: Dealers will update the instrument panel module software free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed April 24, 2025.
6. Back Over Prevention (Sensing System: Camera) – NHTSA Campaign 25V900000
– Issue: A separate software error may prevent the rearview camera image from displaying as intended, also violating FMVSS No. 111.
– Risk: A rearview image that does not display reduces the driver’s view behind the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
– Remedy: Dealers will update the software free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed January 14, 2026. Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) for this recall became searchable on NHTSA.gov on December 23, 2025.
