Audi Q7

Issue: 
On certain vehicles, a software problem could cause the rearview camera image not to appear on the display. Canadian regulations require the rearview image to display when the transmission is shifted into reverse gear. 

Safety Risk: 
A rearview camera image that doesn't display could reduce a driver's ability to see behind the vehicle while backing up. This could increase the risk of a crash. 

Corrective Actions: 
Audi will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to update the rearview camera software.

Issue:  
On certain vehicles, a problem with the instrument cluster (virtual cockpit) could cause it to shut down. If this happens, you may not be able to see certain information about the vehicle, including the speedometer, warnings, and tell-tales.  
 
Safety Risk:  
Warnings, tell-tales and gauges that don't display could increase the risk of a crash.  
 
Corrective Actions:  
Audi will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to update the instrument cluster software.

Issue: 
On certain vehicles, the passenger occupant detection system may malfunction. This could cause the airbag system to turn off the passenger-front airbag even when a passenger is seated. 
Note: This problem would cause a yellow airbag warning light to turn on in the instrument panel. 

Safety Risk: 
An airbag that is turned off could increase the risk of injury to a passenger in a crash. 

Corrective Actions: 
Audi will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to replace the passenger seat occupant detection system control module.

Issue: 
On certain vehicles, the driver seat-mounted airbag may not have been installed properly. As a result, the airbag may not inflate properly in a crash. 
 
Safety Risk: 
A seat-mounted airbag that doesn't work properly could increase the risk of injury in a crash. 
 
Corrective Actions: 
Audi will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to inspect and, if necessary, reinstall the driver seat-mounted airbag.

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.
