2019 Audi Rs 5 Safety Report

The 2019 Audi RS 5 has a very limited safety data profile available from NHTSA. There are 0 total complaints, 0 crashes, 0 fires, 0 injuries, and 0 deaths reported, which is exceptionally low for any vehicle. This lack of data makes it challenging to identify common complaint patterns or widespread issues through NHTSA's public database. The vehicle has not undergone NHTSA crash testing, resulting in 'N/A' ratings for Overall, Frontal, Side, and Rollover safety. Therefore, its crashworthiness cannot be assessed using this specific dataset. The only safety concern identified is a single recall (NHTSA Campaign Number 19V070000) related to the passenger side frontal air bag inflator module. This recall affects certain 2018-2019 Audi RS5 Sportback and other Audi models. The consequence of this defect is a disabled passenger air bag, which significantly increases the risk of injury to the passenger in a crash. Owners of affected vehicles should ensure this recall has been addressed. Given the absence of reported complaints and crash test data, the safety assessment is primarily based on the single recall. While the lack of complaints is positive, the absence of crash test ratings means a comprehensive understanding of its passive safety performance is not available from NHTSA. The recall, however, is a critical safety issue that needs to be resolved. In summary, the 2019 Audi RS 5 shows no reported consumer complaints to NHTSA, but its crash test performance is unrated. The sole identified safety concern is a recall for a potentially disabled passenger airbag, which is a serious issue that owners must address to ensure passenger safety.

Our recommendation: Given the lack of consumer complaints and crash test data, ensure the critical passenger airbag recall (19V070000) has been completed before purchasing, as this is the only identified safety concern from NHTSA data.
