Incorrect Information on Tire Label/FMVSS 110
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.
NHTSA Campaign Number: 18V096
Manufacturer Volkswagen Group of America, Inc.
Components EQUIPMENT
Potential Number of Units Affected 3,543
Summary
Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. (Volkswagen) is recalling certain 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.
