Volkswagen Group of America, Inc.: 2023 Audi A3, S3, and RS3 Recalled for Missing Weight Capacity Labels

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Volkswagen Group of America is recalling 297 vehicles including certain 2023 Audi S3, RS3, and A3 models because the safety certification label on the door pillar is missing required weight capacity information. Without this data, drivers may unintentionally overload their vehicles, which can lead to tire failure or loss of control. Audi dealers will provide and install a corrected label overlay free of charge to resolve the issue.

Risk

Missing weight information can lead to the vehicle being loaded beyond its safe carrying capacity. Overloading a vehicle puts excessive stress on the tires and suspension, significantly increasing the risk of a crash.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your vehicle's B-pillar (the center pillar between the front and rear doors) to see if it is a 2023 Audi A3, S3, or RS3.
  2. Contact an authorized Audi dealer to schedule an appointment for the free installation of a weight capacity overlay label.
  3. You may contact Audi customer service at 1-800-253-2834 and reference recall number 50ZZ for more information.
  4. For additional questions, contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or visit www.nhtsa.gov.
