Issue

Issue: On certain vehicles equipped with 21" wheels, the compliance label lists a gross axle weight rating (GAWR) for the rear axle that's too high. The label should list the rear axle capacity as 1770 kg (3902 lb.). This could lead you to overload the vehicle. Safety Risk: Overloading the vehicle could increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: Audi will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealership to install a label with the correct rear axle GAWR.
