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 2024 Audi Q8, part of its first generation, shows a notable decline in federal complaints compared to its 2019 debut (19 vs. 107), reflecting a stabilization trend after early production adjustments. Recalls peaked in 2021 (7) but have since moderated, with 2024 matching the lower 2020 and 2025 levels (3 and 2, respectively). The data suggests the generation’s reliability arc is improving, though 2024’s 803 TSBs—while fewer than prior years—indicate ongoing refinements, particularly in service brakes and electrical systems. The single fire-related complaint and zero crash reports in 2024 are reassuring, but the concentration of electrical and brake issues warrants scrutiny. With 2025 and 2026 data showing further declines in complaints and recalls, 2024 appears to be a transitional year: better than early models but not yet at the generation’s lowest-risk point. **Takeaway:** The 2024 Q8 is a reasonable used buy if service records confirm brake/electrical fixes, but later model years may offer marginally better reliability.**
