2022 Audi S7 Safety Report

The 2022 Audi S7 currently presents a very clean safety record based on NHTSA complaint data, with 0 total complaints, 0 crashes, 0 fires, 0 injuries, and 0 deaths reported. This indicates a strong initial safety performance from a consumer perspective. However, it is important to note that NHTSA has not yet published official crash test ratings (Overall, Frontal, Side, Rollover) for this specific model year, so its performance in controlled crash scenarios remains unassessed by this agency. Despite the lack of consumer complaints, the vehicle has been subject to 3 safety recalls, which address potential issues that could impact safety. These recalls include a 'BACK OVER PREVENTION: SENSING SYSTEM: CAMERA' recall (affecting 2019-2026 vehicles) where a software error could prevent the rearview camera image from displaying, increasing crash risk. Another recall, 'ELECTRICAL SYSTEM' (affecting 2020-2022 S7 and other models), addresses a potential gateway control module shutdown due to liquid spills, which could suddenly reduce engine power and increase crash risk. The third recall, 'ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:INSTRUMENT PANEL:FUEL GAUGE' (affecting 2020-2022 S7 and other models), concerns an inaccurate fuel level sender that could lead to an engine stall due to lack of fuel, also increasing crash risk. In summary, while the 2022 Audi S7 has no reported consumer safety issues, the presence of three significant recalls highlights potential manufacturing or design flaws identified by the manufacturer or NHTSA. Prospective buyers should ensure all recall remedies have been performed. The absence of crash test ratings means its structural safety performance is not yet publicly evaluated by NHTSA.

Our recommendation: While the 2022 Audi S7 has no reported consumer complaints, ensure all 3 open safety recalls (rearview camera, electrical system, fuel gauge) have been addressed by a dealer before purchase, and be aware that NHTSA crash test ratings are unavailable.
