2014 AUDI A8 L
This model year
What the record shows
The 2014 Audi A8 L is a large car, and the 15th model year of a nameplate NHTSA records from 2000 to 2027.
The EPA rated four configurations: engines from 3-litre six-cylinder to 6.3-litre twelve-cylinder, all-wheel drive only, a single transmission, Automatic (S8) and running on diesel and premium gasoline.
Combined fuel economy ranges from 15 to 28 mpg depending on which one you have.
No complaints, recalls, investigations or service bulletins are on the federal record for this model year.
Counts are reports, not rates. A complaint is something an owner chose to file; it is unverified and unadjusted for how many of these cars were sold, so the useful comparison is against other model years of the same car. Recalls and investigations carry more weight because a manufacturer or regulator acted on them.
Reading this report
Complaint counts are reports filed with NHTSA, not failure rates. A common model collects more of them than a rare one that breaks more often.
