Recalls Reported to NHTSA

The following recalls were reported to NHTSA. A recall does not by itself establish that any individual vehicle is defective.

VISIBILITY:SUN/MOON ROOF ASSEMBLY

NHTSA #26V209000

Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. (Audi) is recalling certain 2026 Q3 vehicles. Incorrect software may allow remote sunroof closing from a distance that prevents the operator from clearly seeing the sunroof.

Reported consequence: Closing the sunroof without the ability to see it can increase the risk of injury to occupants.

Remedy: Dealers will update the sunroof control module software and the owner's manual, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed May 29, 2026. Owners may contact Audi customer service at 1-800-253-2834. Audi's number for this recall is 57KS. Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) involved in this recall became searchable on NHTSA.gov on April 7, 2026.
