NHTSA has 25 distinct campaigns against the Audi Q7; the Dutch register holds 18, across 9,604 registered here. Close enough to compare honestly.

the Dutch road
American regulators have recorded 7 more distinct campaigns against the Audi Q7 than the Dutch register holds.
What those campaigns were about
NHTSA files every campaign against the system at fault. For the Audi Q7, the American record breaks down like this: counted once per campaign, not once per model year.
| Air bags | 6 |
|---|---|
| Seat belts | 3 |
| Back over prevention | 3 |
| Steering | 2 |
| Suspension | 2 |
| Fuel system, gasoline | 2 |
| Exterior lighting | 1 |
| Seats | 1 |
What this does not mean. A larger count on one side is not proof that the other country's owners were abandoned. Model variants differ between markets, an American campaign can cover an engine or body never sold in Europe, and a privately imported car has no national importer obliged to write to its owner, which is itself worth knowing. We publish the difference as a measured fact and an open question, never as an accusation.

US figures are distinct NHTSA campaign numbers for vehicle recalls, read from NHTSA's published bulk file, last read 15 September 2026. Dutch figures are campaigns recorded by the Netherlands vehicle register; the fleet count is the Netherlands vehicle register's vehicle register. One campaign counts once however many model years it covers.
What the Q7 record is mostly about
Recalls are not interchangeable, and this model’s are not spread evenly. The single largest group is air bags, with 6 of the 25 American campaigns filed against it, followed by seat belts (3) and back over prevention (3). The full breakdown is in the table above, counted once per campaign rather than once per model year: a single campaign covering six years of Q7 production counts once here, which is not how most recall counts are quoted.
Check an Audi Q7
A recall lookup tells you what is open on your car today. It does not tell you whether the notice was edited after it was published: manufacturers revise them, and the new version replaces the old one on the public record. We keep the originals, hashed and dated. Check an Audi Q7 against ours, or look your own car up by country.
How these two registers are compared, why most models cannot be compared at all, and which forty can: the method is here. Figures rebuild themselves from NHTSA’s bulk file and the Netherlands national vehicle register’s open data; freshness is public on the status page.
