DEFECT #1 - EQUIPMENT:OTHER:LABELS
Posted on: 2018-02-08
Description
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. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard (fmvss) number 110, tire selection and rims.
Consequence
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.
