2021 Audi Rs 6 Safety Report

The 2021 Audi RS 6 has a very limited safety data set from NHTSA, with only 4 total complaints, 0 crashes, 0 fires, 0 injuries, and 0 deaths reported. This low complaint volume makes it challenging to draw definitive conclusions about widespread safety issues. The most frequently reported component in complaints is the ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, accounting for 2 out of 4 complaints. Specific issues include repeated rear camera failures and complete loss of electrical power while driving, leading to the vehicle coasting to a stop. Another complaint mentions the generator failing on 'almost every single one' of these vehicles, though this is based on a single report. There are no recalls issued for the 2021 Audi RS 6, which is positive but again, the low complaint volume might not fully reflect potential issues. NHTSA has not conducted crash tests for this specific model, resulting in 'N/A' ratings for Overall, Frontal, Side, and Rollover safety. This lack of official crash test data means its performance in collision scenarios is not publicly assessed by NHTSA. Given the extremely small sample size of complaints, it's difficult to identify common patterns with high confidence. However, the recurring theme of electrical system malfunctions, including camera failures and critical power loss, is concerning. The reported generator failure, if widespread as suggested by one complaint, would be a significant safety risk. The absence of recalls and crash test data means buyers must rely on manufacturer information and potentially independent reviews for a full safety picture.

Our recommendation: Given the extremely limited NHTSA data, potential buyers should be cautious, especially regarding reported electrical system failures; consider a pre-purchase inspection and inquire about any known service bulletins or software updates related to electrical components.
