2021 Audi e-tron Sportback

The 2021 Audi e-tron Sportback represents the peak reporting year in this federal record, with 38 complaints, 10 recalls, 1 investigation, and 1,195 TSBs — roughly double the recalls and nearly ten times the complaints of the 2020 model year, which saw 4 complaints, 5 recalls, 1 investigation, and 965 TSBs. The 2024 data then falls sharply to 0 complaints, 1 recall, 0 investigations, and 41 TSBs, though the record does not specify whether that decline reflects improved reliability, lower fleet exposure, or simply newer vehicles. For 2021, the top complaint categories are electrical, led by Electrical System with 11 reports and Electrical System/Unknown Or Other with 6, alongside one fire complaint and no crash complaints. Because 2021 carries the highest counts across complaints, recalls, and TSBs in this arc, it implies a broader field of documented issues than the surrounding years. A buyer should prioritize a unit with complete recall completion and clean service records. While not the cleanest year in this limited record, a well-documented 2021 example remains a viable purchase if its history checks out.
