What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. (Audi) is recalling certain 2022 RS5 coupe and RS5 Sportback vehicles. The value for the maximum combined weight of occupants and cargo on the B-pillar Tire and Loading information label is incorrect. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 110, "Tire and Loading Information."

The risk

While referencing the B-pillar label, the operator may overload the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

The remedy

Dealers will install a corrected label on the B-pillar, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed March 31, 2022. Owners may contact Audi customer service at 1-800-253-2834. Audi's number for this recall is 44S3.

Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.

A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
