What Happened
The seat belt buckles in your Audi vehicle have a small rivet that keeps them securely attached to the seat. In some 2025 models, this rivet might be missing, which could cause the buckle to detach during a crash.
Risk if Unfixed
If the seat belt buckle comes loose, it may not safely restrain you in a crash. This could lead to serious injury or harm.
Free Fix
Your Audi dealer will replace the front seat belt buckles with new, secure ones – at no cost to you. Schedule the repair as soon as you receive the recall notice and ensure your safety on the road.
