Recalls

Good news: Recall repairs are almost always free. Book with any manufacturer dealer and quote the recall number. Transport Canada’s own wording is that a manufacturer “will almost always make these repairs free of charge”, so being asked to pay for recall work is unusual and worth questioning. Since 2018 the Minister of Transport can order a company to pay for repairs so owners do not bear the cost.

Steering

Transport Canada recall 2020102 · manufacturer campaign 36A1

16 March 2020

Transport Canada lists: Q7 2017–2019

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the bolt that attaches the steering shaft to the steering gear may not be properly tightened. Over time, the bolt may loosen. If you continue to operate the vehicle, the bolt could detach completely and cause a loss of steering control.

Why it matters

A loss of steering could create the risk of a crash.

What the dealer will do

Audi will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to inspect the steering shaft bolt and, if necessary, replace it.

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, a small amount of fuel may leak from one or both fuel rails.

Why it matters

Leaking fuel in the presence of an ignition source could increase the risk of a fire.

What the dealer will do

The company will notify owners by mail. Owners will be instructed to take their vehicle to a dealer to have the left and right fuel rails replaced.

What is wrong

Certain vehicles may have been equipped with airbag and/or pretensioner igniters that do not meet specifications. This could cause affected airbags and/or pretentioners to fail to deploy properly in the event of a crash, which could increase the risk of injury to vehicle occupants.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will replace affected airbag and/or pretentioner.

2 September 2016

Transport Canada lists: A3 2016 · A4 2017 · Q3 2015–2017 · Q7 2017 · and 1 more

What is wrong

Certain vehicles may not comply with the requirements of Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 108 - Lighting System and Retroreflective Devices. In a situation where the parking lights are switched on and the vehicle is locked, the side marker lights do not illuminate, which is contrary to the requirements of the standard. This could reduce vehicle visibility, which could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will update vehicle software.

Seats And Restraints

Transport Canada recall 2016426 · manufacturer campaign 72F8

2 September 2016

Transport Canada lists: Q7 2017

What is wrong

Certain vehicles may fail to conform to Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 207 - Anchorage of Seats. The third row seat may move forward if subject to high loading, such as in a frontal collision. As a result, it may not adequately restrain an occupant and would increase the risk of injury, and cause it to not conform to the standard.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will install an additional support bracket.

Airbag

Transport Canada recall 2016348 · manufacturer campaign 69O3

6 July 2016

Transport Canada lists: Q7 2017

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the software of the airbag control module may be incorrect. This could cause the frontal airbags to deploy (where deployment is warranted) with too much force in relation to the type of crash, which could increase the risk of injury to vehicle occupants.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will update the airbag control module software.

Source: Transport Canada — Vehicle Recalls Database; NRCan — Fuel consumption ratings. Data current as of 6 August 2026. Running cost uses Ontario average prices (155 ¢/L, 14.5 ¢/kWh), which are hand-maintained estimates. These are average residential rates. A car’s charging is added on top of what your home already uses, so on a tiered, time-of-use or subsidised tariff it is billed at your top rate rather than this average — which makes the real cost higher, especially in the territories.
