What This Recall Means

Component

SEATS:MID/REAR ASSEMBLY

What Happened
The part that holds your rear seat headrests in place in your e-Golf, Golf R, A3 Sedan, or RS3 has a small issue with its welds. It's like a weak link in a chain – if it breaks, the headrests might not function correctly.
Risk if Unfixed
If there's a crash, the headrests might not provide the usual level of protection, which could increase the risk of injury – especially for the people sitting there.

How to Get This Fixed

Free Fix
Your dealership will check the welds and replace the rear seat frame if necessary – all for free. They'll get it done as soon as you take your car in for the recall, which is already underway.

Affected Vehicles

2018 AUDI RS 3

Is YOUR vehicle affected?

This page lists the models and model years named in NHTSA campaign #18V803000.

The authoritative way to know is a VIN check against NHTSA's own records.
