Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. "Audi" is recalling certain 2022 E-Tron GT vehicles.

An improperly secured child seat increases the risk of injury during a crash.
Dealers will reroute and secure the center rear seat belt buckle wiring harness and, as necessary, replace a damaged buckle, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed March 15, 2022. Owners may contact Audi customer service at 1-800-253-2834. Audi's number for this recall is 72M6.
