NHTSA recall 16V641000
Seats · Volkswagen Group of America, Inc.
Details
What's wrong: Volkswagen group of america, Inc. (Volkswagen) is recalling certain model year 2017 Audi q7 vehicles manufactured August 30, 2015, to July 10, 2016. In the affected vehicles, the third row seat back may move forward under load, such as in a frontal collision. As such, the vehicles do not conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (fmvss) number 207, "seating systems."
Why it matters: If the third row seat does not remain in its adjusted position, there may be an increased risk of injury to an occupant in the event of a crash.
The fix: Audi will notify owners, and dealers will install an additional support bracket to the seat, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin in November 2016.
