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 RS5 shows one complaint in Power Train and one complaint in each of three Electrical System categories, according to the federal record. Compared with the preceding model years captured in the dataset (2013‑2015 and 2018‑2019), its complaint volume and recall count remain at the low‑single‑digit level seen before the first recall spikes in 2018. The trend across the generation features occasional recalls (three in 2018, five in 2019) but no crash or fire complaints for 2024. No additional investigations or TSB entries are listed for the target year, indicating that early‑year issues are limited to the reported categories. Given the sparse complaint profile and absence of safety‑critical complaints, the 2024 model year is a reasonable purchase, though buyers should monitor future updates as more data accumulates.
