Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

The 2014 Audi allroad sits at the quietest point in its modern generation’s federal record, with 6 complaints, 1 recall, 0 investigations, and 482 TSBs. Compared with 2013 (13 complaints, 1 recall, 590 TSBs) and 2015 (29 complaints, 4 recalls, 736 TSBs), the 2014 model shows lower complaint volume and fewer safety actions than the year that followed it. Complaint areas are dispersed and low-severity—Fuel System, Tires, Engine & Engine Cooling, and Unknown each logged a single complaint—with zero crash and zero fire complaints. The broader arc shows the earlier 1998–2005 generation peaked at 104 complaints and 7 recalls in 2002–2003, while the revived 2013–2018 generation trends upward into 2015 before tapering off. Because 2014 immediately precedes the 2015 spike and carries the lowest complaint count of the modern run, it appears to be one of the more favorable model years to buy in this generation.
