Audi recalls 3500 American RS 7s due to tyre label error

In the USA Audi has recalled 3,500 of its RS 7 models due to incorrect information on the tyre label. The vehicles covering model years 2014-2018 have tyre information labels that are printed with incorrect maximum weight ratings, the company told the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).

Audi says the correct combined maximum weight is 992 lbs/470 kg, but the labels say 1,146 lbs/520 kg.

The Audi RS 7 recall is expected to begin 8 April 2018. Dealers will replace the incorrect tyre information labels.
