2015 AUDI A8
This model year
What the record shows
The 2015 Audi A8 is a midsize car, and the 21st model year of a nameplate NHTSA records from 1995 to 2026.
The EPA rated two configurations: engines from 3-litre six-cylinder to 4-litre eight-cylinder, all-wheel drive only, a single transmission, Automatic (S8) and running on premium gasoline.
Combined fuel economy is 22 mpg.
The federal record holds 31 owner complaints, 5 safety recalls and 1,010 service bulletins for it.
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.
