Audi Recalls 2026 Q5 Over Faulty Seatbelts
Audi is recalling 7,425 versions of the 2025 Q5, Q5 Sportback, SQ5, and SQ5 Sportback SUVs. The reason for the recall has to do with the driver and front passenger seatbelts that may have been manufactured incorrectly, which could cause them to fail to properly restrain occupants during a crash.
To fix the issue, Audi dealers will replace the driver and front passenger seat belts as necessary, free of charge. For those owners that are affected, letters are expected to be mailed June 23, 2026. Customers in the meantime can contact Audi's customer service at 1-800-253-2834.
