Audi Q3 Recalls In The UK: Every Safety Recall By Year And Build Date, And What To Do

The Audi Q3 has 10 UK safety recalls in DVSA records, 7 of them since 2020. The most common faults involve brakes and seat belts. Enter your registration to see which apply to your car; you won't usually pay for a recall repair.¹

The Audi Q3 has relatively few UK recalls, and most of them are recent, so this is a model to check if you bought a newer one. In 2026 Audi recalled the Q3 twice for seat belts: R/2026/325 checks the lap belt tensioner on 2,444 cars, and R/2026/292 replaces a front seat belt on a smaller number. Seat belt faults give no warning, so book these promptly; see seat belt recalls. The largest Q3 recall, R/2019/260, fixed front LED indicators that could fail on 45,677 cars, and R/2017/218 fixed brake lights that could fail when the electronic parking brake was used. The plug-in hybrid Q3 e-tron had a 2022 recall for a fuse in the high-voltage system (R/2022/085). Q3 problems tend to be found quickly, with half of its recalls arriving about a year after the first affected cars were built.
