ANALYSISHow safe is the 2022 Audi S5?
The 2022 Audi S5 has logged a notably light federal safety record. Only two recalls and zero owner complaints appear on file with NHTSA for this model year. Both recalls are multi-model campaigns from Volkswagen Group of America, addressing infotainment display hardware and rearview camera sensing systems; neither points to a powertrain or structural safety defect. While the lack of owner complaints is conspicuous, it may reflect low reporting volume rather than a verified absence of issues. No crash-test data for this specific model year or its immediate siblings is available, precluding a comprehensive Safety Index computation.
