What Happened
Your Audi Q7's certification label shows the maximum weight your vehicle can handle. But in some 2009-2015 models, the label has the wrong information, which can trick you into overloading the vehicle.
Risk if Unfixed
If you overload your vehicle, you risk losing control, which could lead to a crash.
Free Fix
Your Audi dealer will add a new label with the correct weight information on top of the existing one, and it's completely free. You should schedule the repair when you get the recall notice and contact Audi's customer service if you have any questions.
