Audi A4, A5 door speaker trim leaves sharp edges
low How serious is it? About this label
The sharp edges of the speaker trim increase the risk of injury to vehicle occupants. The notice does not tell owners to stop driving.
What's wrong, in plain English
The aluminum trim around the door speakers on some 2017-2018 Audi A4, A4 allroad, and A5 Sportback models can come loose. Once a piece lifts away from the door panel, it leaves a sharp metal edge where people put their hands, reach for the door, or brush past while getting in and out. That edge can cut someone. Nothing about how the car drives, steers, or stops is affected. Dealers replace the trim free.
What you should do
1. Check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see if your Audi is included. 2. Call your Audi dealer to have the speaker trim replaced. 3. The replacement is free; Audi customer service is 1-800-253-2834, recall number 70G6.
