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 2022 Audi S5 falls between the 2021 model year, which recorded 1 complaint and 5 recalls (TSB 965), and the 2023 model year, which recorded 3 complaints and 1 recall (TSB 824). Across the generation, complaints peaked at 26 in 2018, then declined to 1 in 2021 before rising slightly to 3 in 2023, while recalls increased to 5 in 2021 and then dropped to 1 in 2023. The only top complaint area for the target year is Electrical System/Engine, corresponding to the single complaint entry. With the downward trend and no fire or crash complaints, the 2022 model year appears to be a reasonable purchase, though owners should monitor electrical‑system service actions.
