What Happened
Your vehicle's tire information label shows the wrong maximum weight your tires can handle. This label is like a warning sign on your tire, telling you how much weight you can safely carry.
Risk if Unfixed
If you load your vehicle thinking it can handle more weight than it actually can, you could overload it. This could increase the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Your Audi dealer will replace the incorrect tire information label with the correct one, free of charge. You should schedule this repair as soon as possible to ensure your safety on the road.
