Quick Answer
- How do I check an Audi recall by VIN?
- Enter the 17-character VIN into the recall check on this page. It is printed on the lower driver-side corner of the windshield, on the driver's door jamb and on the registration. The check decodes the VIN to its exact year, make and model and lists the NHTSA recall campaigns filed for it, free and without an account. The full history report lists the recalls returned for that exact VIN. Whether a repair was done is in the manufacturer's records, which an Audi dealer or NHTSA's VIN lookup can confirm.
- How many recalls does Audi have?
- For the 2022 A4, the 2022–2023 A6, the 2024 A6 Sedan and the 2022–2024 Q5, NHTSA's recall search returned 11 recall campaigns. NHTSA's recall search matched no 2023–2024 A4, so those model-years are not counted. The largest group, 5 of the 11, is filed under electrical system. Across the make, NHTSA lists recalls on 18 Audi model names for 2024 alone. The count that matters for a purchase is the one for that car's VIN.
- Are there Audi do-not-drive recalls?
- None of the 11 campaigns sampled here, for the 2022 A4, the 2022–2023 A6, the 2024 A6 Sedan and the 2022–2024 Q5, carries NHTSA's do-not-drive or park-outside warning. Other Audi models and years can, so check the VIN of the car in front of you.
Audi recalls on NHTSA's record, 2022–2024
Audi's sampled record keeps returning to the electrical system: high-voltage battery and charging-cable campaigns on the 2022–2024 Q5, a gateway control module and fuel level sender on the 2022 A6.

Sample: the 2022 A4, the 2022–2023 A6, the 2024 A6 Sedan and the 2022–2024 Q5, the Audi models with the most US searches. NHTSA lists recalls on 18 Audi model names for 2024 alone, so this is part of the make's record, not all of it. NHTSA's recall search matched no 2023–2024 A4, so those model-years are not counted. NHTSA's own VIN lookup covers them. A campaign is listed under each sampled model NHTSA's search returned it for; its own text sets the versions and VINs it covers, which can be narrower (one engine or body) or wider (other models). A VIN check lists the campaigns filed for one car's exact year, make and model.
Do-not-drive and park-outside warnings
NHTSA flags a campaign when the risk is serious enough that owners are told not to drive the vehicle, or to park it outdoors away from buildings, until the repair is done.
None of the 11 campaigns in this sample carries either flag. That is a statement about these models and years only; a VIN check lists the campaigns filed for one car’s exact year, make and model.
A model-year list can’t tell you about one Audi. Its VIN can.
Recall campaigns, title brands, reported accidents and odometer records follow the VIN.
Which systems Audi recalls involve
On the Q5 plug-in hybrid, the high-voltage battery campaigns say owners may be contacted and told not to charge the car until the battery can be replaced, so ask the seller directly whether that notice ever arrived. A separate engine campaign, for cylinder head cover screws that may have been improperly tightened, is filed against the Q5 and Q5 Sportback in every sampled year, with no mention of the plug-in hybrid.

Buying a used Audi: checking recall status
A recall belongs to a range of VINs, and whether the repair was done belongs to one car. Both questions are answered by the VIN, not the model name.
A Q5 recall is not every Q5 of that year. The high-voltage battery campaigns name the plug-in hybrid, and even within the named models the VIN range decides whether a particular car is included.
Run the VIN through NHTSA's lookup or ask an Audi dealer which campaigns are still open. On a 2022 A4 or A6, where the rearview camera image comes up in both a camera campaign and an infotainment unit campaign, ask for the repair orders too.
On a Q5 that came with the compact portable charging cable, check whether it is the replacement with a built-in temperature sensor that the charging campaign supplies. Until it is, the campaign tells owners not to use that cable.
The Audi customer line printed in these campaigns' remedy notices is 1-800-253-2834.
What the latest Audi campaigns say
NHTSA's own wording, shortened. A campaign covers a VIN range, so a listed model year does not mean every car of that year is included.
NHTSA 25V900000Reported December 19, 2025—Back over prevention › Sensing system › Camera
Returned for the 2022–2023 A6 and 2024 A6 Sedan in this sample.
Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. (Audi) is recalling certain 2019-2026 vehicles. Please see the recall report for a complete list of models.

As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 111, "Rear Visibility."
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. Owners may contact Audi customer service at 1-800-253-2834. Audi's number for this recall is 90TV. Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) involved in this recall became searchable on NHTSA.gov on December 23, 2025.

How recall repairs and owner notices work
When a manufacturer has to notify owners of a safety defect, federal law requires it to remedy the defect without charge when the vehicle is presented for remedy. The manufacturer chooses how: repairing the vehicle, replacing it with an identical or reasonably equivalent vehicle, or refunding the purchase price less a reasonable allowance for depreciation (49 U.S.C. 30120).
The free remedy has an age limit. It does not apply if the vehicle was bought by its first purchaser more than 15 calendar years before the recall notice was given (49 U.S.C. 30120(g)). Every model year sampled on this page is inside that window.
Owner letters go by first-class mail to each registered owner the manufacturer can identify through state records, no later than 60 days after it files its defect report under Part 573, with a second letter once the remedy is available if it was not at first (49 CFR 577.7). A car bought used, or registered at an old address, can miss both, which is why a used car's recall status is checked by VIN.

None of the 11 campaigns sampled here, for the 2022 A4, the 2022–2023 A6, the 2024 A6 Sedan and the 2022–2024 Q5, carries NHTSA's do-not-drive or park-outside warning. Other Audi models and years can, so check the VIN of the car in front of you.
Are Audi recall repairs free?+
Yes, within a legal age limit. Federal law requires the manufacturer to remedy a safety defect without charge, by repair, replacement or a refund less depreciation, whichever it chooses (49 U.S.C. 30120). That duty does not apply if the vehicle was first bought more than 15 calendar years before the recall notice.
What is the latest Audi recall?+
Among the campaigns NHTSA's recall search returned for the 2022 A4, the 2022–2023 A6, the 2024 A6 Sedan and the 2022–2024 Q5, the most recent is 25V900000, received by NHTSA on December 19, 2025: Back over prevention › Sensing system › Camera, returned for the 2022–2023 A6 and 2024 A6 Sedan. A rearview image that does not display reduces the driver's view behind the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash. New campaigns are added as manufacturers file them, so run the VIN for the current list.
How will I be told about an Audi recall?+
The manufacturer mails a letter by first-class mail to each registered owner it can identify through state records, no later than 60 days after filing its defect report with NHTSA, and a second letter once the remedy is available if it was not at first (49 CFR 577.7). The Audi customer line printed in these campaigns' remedy notices is 1-800-253-2834. A car bought used, or registered at an old address, can miss the letters, so check the VIN before you buy.
