Audi parts of the front seat frame and backrest adjuster may not have been welded properly.
The short version
Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. reported a problem with the seats. Here is what owners need to know.
Parts of the front seat frame and backrest adjuster may not have been welded properly.
In the event of a rear-end crash, the backrest adjustment could break, possibly reducing the amount of occupant restraint, thus increasing risk of injury.
Volkswagen will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the front seats, and, as necessary, replace the seatback frames, free of charge.
