Summary

Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. "Audi" is recalling certain 2009-2015 Q7 vehicles. The Gross Axle Weight Rating "GAWR" listed on the certification label is incorrect, which can allow the vehicle to be overloaded.

Consequence

An overloaded vehicle can increase the risk of a crash.

Dealers will install an overlay label containing the correct rear GAWR on top of the existing safety certification label, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed April 14, 2023. Owners may contact Audi's customer service at 1-800-253-2834. Audi's number for this recall is 50G5.
