Details

What's wrong: Volkswagen group of america, Inc. (Audi) is recalling certain 2026 q3 vehicles. Incorrect software may allow remote sunroof closing from a distance that prevents the operator from clearly seeing the sunroof. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 118, "power-operated window systems."

Why it matters: Closing the sunroof without the ability to see it can increase the risk of injury to occupants.

The fix: Dealers will update the sunroof control module software and the owner's manual, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed April 22, 2026.
