7.8% of complaints about the 2016 Audi A6 came in the first year, which is unremarkable for a 2016 vehicle — around the middle of the 199 model-years on record.

Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. (Audi) is recalling certain 2016-2018 Q7, A6 and A7 vehicles, and 2015-2018 Audi A8 vehicles. The left and right fuel rails may leak fuel.
A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source can increase risk of a fire.
Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. (Volkswagen) is recalling certain 2015-2016 Audi A6 Sedans and 2015 Audi A7 vehicles. The auxiliary heater electrical connector on these vehicles may have been incorrectly inserted into the auxiliary heater, possibly resulting in increased electrical resistance.
The extra resistance can cause the connector to overheat, increasing the risk of a fire.

I THINK THE AUDI RECALL NEEDS TO INCLUDE MORE YEARS. IT ENDS AT 2015 A6. I HAVE A 2016 A6 THAT NEEDED TOWED IN MARCH. I WAS DRIVING AND THE CAR STARTED SMOKING, THE ENGINE COOLANT WAS GONE, AND THE CAR HAD TO BE TOWED IN. THE PROBLEM SEEMS THE SAME AS THE RECALL FOR THE COOLANT SYSTEM THAT WAS JUST ANNOUNCED. THEY REPLACED THE COOLANT SYSTEM IN MARCH OF THIS YEAR. MY VEHICLE ONLY HAD ABOUT 26K MILES.
IN FEBRUARY 2019 I RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER, NHTSA 19V035, FROM AUDI TELLING ME MY CAR MAY HAVE A DEFECT IN THE FUEL RAILS WHICH COULD LEAK FUEL CAUSING A FIRE! I IMMEDIATELY CONTACTED MY DEALER AUDI OF WALLINGFORD CT AND PUT MY NAME ON A WAITING LIST FOR REPAIR. I HAVE NOW BEEN WAITING SEVEN MONTHS AND DESPITE SEVERAL CALLS TO THE SERVICE DEPT, IT HAS NOT BEEN FIXED. THEY TELL ME THEY ARE NOT GETTING THE PARTS FROM AUDI. TODAY THEY TOLD ME THEY HAVE NOT RECEIVED THE NEEDED PARTS IN MONTHS! THIS IS FOR A DEFECT WHICH COULD CAUSE A FIRE. IS THIS PERMISSIBLE? WHAT CAN BE DONE?
