There are 307 Audi dealerships in the United States as of October 31, 2023. The state with the most number of Audi locations in the US is California, with 42 dealerships, which is about 14% of all Audi dealerships in the US.
As a leading luxury car brand globally, this German automaker, known for its slogan “advancement through technology,” consistently produces innovative vehicles, placing Audi at the forefront of the automotive industry. With over 200,000 Audis sold in the U.S. last year, and this number anticipated to rise, the likelihood of some of these Audis being lemons is plausible. If you suspect your Audi is a lemon, you might qualify for an Audi Lemon buyback or other forms of compensation.
Is your Audi a lemon?
Both federal and state regulations outline strict criteria to identify whether a car qualifies as a lemon, and California’s guidelines differ from those in certain states. With our expertise in Audi lemon law, at Lemon Lawyers LA, we’ve successfully secured California Audi Lemon Law buybacks for numerous clients, covering models such as Audi A3, Audi A4, Audi A5, Audi A6, Audi Q5, Audi TT, and more.
If your vehicle is still under warranty and facing significant defects, you could be entitled to compensation under Audi’s lemon law. Notably, recent developments include an Audi diesel recall and an Audi A3 recall.

When has your Audi received a “reasonable number” of repair attempts?
When your Audi experiences issues, the Audi manufacturer has the opportunity to make a reasonable number of repairs before your vehicle is claimed a lemon. This number differs from state to state, but in California, this criteria has been met if one of the following has happened:
- Your car has been sidelined for more than 30 days because of defects covered under warranty
- You’re experiencing issues that could cause serious harm or even death, and you’ve attempted to repair these problems at least twice — and you’ve notified the manufacturer about it
- You’re experiencing defects covered under warranty that you’ve attempted to repair these problems at least four times — and you’ve notified the manufacturer about it
Audi Recalls
Even luxury automakers like Audi can’t be counted on to send perfect Audi vehicles off the lot every time. When you’re selling over 200,000 Audis each year, it’s not unheard of for a few models to come off the assembly line with defects. And when that happens, consumers either unknowingly purchase a lemon vehicle, or, if a large number of Audis are affected and the manufacturer catches their mistake, a recall is issued.
A recall is what happens when a manufacturer agrees to repair widespread safety issues or defects with its cars for free. When cars don’t live up to federal safety standards, either the manufacturer or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) will issue a recall by model, manufacturing date or VIN.
Over the years, Audi has had issues with a number of recalls for problems with things like sunroofs and warning lights. But the manufacturer has also had several recalls over more serious defects, like with the fuel lines, brakes, and steering. And like several other manufacturers, Audi was swept up in the wave of vehicles recalled as part of the Takata airbag issues.
We’re listing five of the most recent recalls below. If you have any of the models mentioned and haven’t yet sought repairs for your vehicle, you should contact the dealership where you purchased your car. You can also check the Audi website or the NHTSA website — by using your vehicle’s VIN, you can look up Audi recalls seeing if your car was affected.
