NHTSA recall 22V084000
Seat Belts · Volkswagen Group of America, Inc.
Details
What's wrong: Volkswagen group of america, Inc. (Audi) is recalling certain 2022 E-tron GT vehicles. The center seat belt buckle wiring harness may obstruct access to the right rear seat lower child seat anchors, preventing a child seat from being properly secured. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 225, "child restraint anchorage systems."
Why it matters: An improperly secured child seat increases the risk of injury during a crash.
The fix: 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.
