Summary:
Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. "Volkswagen" is recalling certain 2014-2015 Audi S7 and 2016-2018 RS7 vehicles. The tire information label on these vehicles incorrectly lists the combined maximum weight as 1146 lbs/520 kg, when the correct combined maximum weight is actually 992 lbs/450 kg. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard "FMVSS" number 110, "Tire Selection and Rims." |

Consequence:
If the operator were to load the vehicle based on information on the tire information label, they could overload the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash. |
