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 2022 Audi Q7 represents a notable shift in the federal complaint and recall trend for its generation. Complaints dropped to 67 in 2021 before falling further to just 25 in 2022, a significant improvement compared to the spike of 316 in 2017 and elevated levels in subsequent years. Recalls remained steady at 9 in 2021 but decreased to 5 in 2022, aligning with the broader post-2020 stabilization in recall activity. The 2022 model’s complaint profile—dominated by unspecified issues and minor powertrain or driver-assistance concerns—lacks the concentrated, high-severity patterns seen in earlier years like 2017. With no fire-related complaints and only two crash incidents reported, the data suggests Audi addressed many of the generation’s earlier reliability and safety challenges by this model year. This positions the 2022 Q7 as one of the stronger years in the generation to consider for a used purchase.
