NHTSA recall 23V086000
Equipment, Tires · Volkswagen Group of America, Inc.
Details
What's wrong: 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. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 110, "tire selection and rims," and part 567, "certification."
Why it matters: An overloaded vehicle can increase the risk of a crash.
The fix: 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 were mailed April 24, 2023.
