Audi S5 Coupe

Issue: 
On certain vehicles, the rear outboard seat belts may contain defective automatic locking retractors (ALR). As a result, the seat belts may not work properly to secure a child seat. 
Note: The vehicle's lower universal anchorage system (UAS) is not affected by this defect and may still be used to secure a child seat. 

Safety Risk: 
A seat belt that is used to secure a child restraint but isn't properly locked 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, replace the rear outboard seat belt(s).

Issue: 
On certain vehicles, the front seat belt(s) may have been damaged during production. As a result, the seat belt(s) may not hold a person in place during a crash. 
Note: For the Q4 E-Tron model, this recall affects both Sportback and SUV models. 

Safety Risk:

Issue: 
On certain vehicles, the infotainment main unit in the center console could fail. If this happens, the display screen will not turn on when you start the vehicle and the rearview camera image will not appear when backing up.

A rearview camera image that does not 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 instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealership to replace the infotainment unit.
