Seats and restraints
2025-12-19 · campaign 2025-712
Issue:
On certain vehicles, the rear outboard seat belts may contain defective automatic locking retractors (ALR). As a result, the seat belts may not work properly to secure a child seat.
Note: The vehicle's lower universal anchorage system (UAS) is not affected by this defect and may still be used to secure a child seat.
Safety Risk:
A seat belt that is used to secure a child restraint but isn't properly locked could increase the risk of injury in a crash.
Corrective Actions:
Audi will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to inspect and, if necessary, replace the rear outboard seat belt(s).
Visual system
2025-12-19 · campaign 2025-713
Issue:
On certain vehicles, a software problem could cause the rearview camera image not to appear on the display. Canadian regulations require the rearview image to display when the transmission is shifted into reverse gear.
Safety Risk:
A rearview camera image that doesn't display could reduce a driver's ability to see behind the vehicle while backing up. This could increase the risk of a crash.
Corrective Actions:
Audi will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to update the rearview camera software.
