What Happened
Your Audi Q7 has a label that shows the maximum weight it can carry. But it's possible that this label has an incorrect weight listed, which could lead to your vehicle being overloaded.
Risk if Unfixed
If your vehicle is overloaded, it could increase the risk of a crash. This is because too much weight can affect the way your car handles and brakes.
Free Fix
Your Audi dealer will add a new label on top of the existing one with the correct weight information. This repair is free, and you should bring your vehicle in as soon as you get the recall notice.
