3 recalls covering model years 2025. To check whether your vehicle is affected, look up your 17-character VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls — a recall may apply only to some vehicles of a given year.
Audi is recalling certain 2025 SQ6 E-Tron, SQ6 Sportback E-Tron, Q6 Sportback E-Tron, A6, A5, A6 Sportback E-Tron, Q6 E-Tron, S5, and S6 Sportback E-Tron vehicles. The automatic locking retractor on the rear seat belts may fail to engage when a child seat is installed using the seat belt. Because of this, the vehicles do not meet federal occupant protection and seat belt standards.
Audi is recalling certain 2025 Q6 and SQ6 vehicles. After the driver shifts into reverse, the picture from the rearview camera may be delayed or may switch off. That means the screen may not show what is behind the vehicle when it is needed. Because of this, these vehicles do not meet the federal rear visibility standard. Dealers will update the software in the rearview camera control unit free of charge, and owner letters were mailed May 20, 2025.
The rearview camera may show a blurry image, giving the driver a less clear view of what is behind the vehicle.
