Audi Recalls Cars for Incorrect Tire Labelling Featured
21 February 2018
Volkswagen Group of America Inc. is recalling 3,543 2014-2015 Audi S7 and 2016-2018 RS7 vehicles. The tire information label on these vehicles incorrectly lists the combined maximum weight as 1146 lbs./520 kg, when the correct combined maximum weight is actually 992 lbs./450 kg. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 110, "Tire Selection and Rims."Audi will notify owners, and dealers will replace the tire information label, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin April 8. Volkswagen's number for this recall is 44N9.
