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 2025 Audi A5 Sportback shows a markedly low complaint count—just one incident—compared to the 12 complaints in 2019, a spike to 60 in 2020, a sharp drop to 7 in 2021, and an empty set again in 2025. Recall activity has been minimal throughout this span, with 3 recalls in 2019, 4 in 2020, 5 in 2021, and none in 2025, indicating no major safety issues have surfaced in the most recent model year. Investigations remained absent across all years, and the number of traffic safety bulletins (TSBs) peaked in 2021 (1048) before falling to 436 in 2025, suggesting a decreasing trend in manufacturer advisories. The single complaint in 2025 is categorized under Electrical System/Engine, but the record does not specify a root cause, so no definitive defect is identified. Overall, the 2025 model sits at the lowest point of the complaint/recall arc for this generation, implying a relatively clean safety and reliability record. Therefore, 2025 is a strong year to consider purchasing a used Audi A5 Sportback.
