ANALYSISHow safe is the 2020 Audi R8 Spyder?
The 2020 Audi R8 Spyder received no recalls and a single unverified complaint, with no crash, fire, injury, or fatality flags attached to that complaint.

This could indicate a genuine absence of reported issues, or it could reflect low sales volumes limiting the number of complaints.
