The short version

Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. reported a problem with the other labels. Here is what owners need to know.

WHAT

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."

WHY IT MATTERS

If the operator were to load the vehicle based on information on the tire information label, they could overload the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

WHAT TO DO

Audi will notify owners, and dealers will replace the tire information label, free of charge.
