LANE DEPARTURE:SOFTWARE
The driver may be unaware that the lane departure warning system is deactivated and rely on a system that is not functional, increasing the risk of a crash.
6 safety recall campaigns, 75 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.
The driver may be unaware that the lane departure warning system is deactivated and rely on a system that is not functional, increasing the risk of a crash.
A rearview image that does not display reduces the driver's view behind the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
Incorrect brake fluid can reduce braking ability and increase the risk of a crash.
A gateway control module shutdown will suddenly reduce engine power, increasing the risk of a crash.
An inaccurate fuel reading may cause an engine stall due to lack of fuel, increasing the risk of a crash.
An incorrectly manufactured air bag may not deploy properly, and could also eject plastic debris into the passenger compartment, increasing the risk of injury during a crash.
Two 2019 AUDI A7s 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.
