Audi automatic locking retractor may fail to engage when a child seat is installed using the seat belt.
The short version
Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. reported a problem with the rear/other retractor. Here is what owners need to know.
The automatic locking retractor may fail to engage when a child seat is installed using the seat belt. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) numbers 208, "Occupant Crash Protection" and 209, "Seat Belt Assemblies."
An improperly secured child seat can increase risk of injury during a crash.
Take it to a dealer — they will inspect and replace the right and left rear seat belt assembly as necessary, free of charge.
