SEAT BELTS:REAR/OTHER:RETRACTOR

Manufacturer

What Happened
The automatic locking retractor in your rear seat belts is the part that helps keep a child seat secure. In some 2025 models of Audi vehicles, this retractor might not lock properly when a child seat is installed.
Risk if Unfixed
If the retractor fails to lock, a child seat could become loose during a crash, increasing the risk of serious injury to the child.
Free Fix
Your Audi dealer will inspect and replace the rear seat belt assembly if needed to ensure it works correctly. This repair is free, and you should schedule it as soon as possible after receiving the recall notice.
