Problem: Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. (Audi) is recalling certain 2026 Q3 vehicles.

As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 118, "Power-Operated Window Systems."

Risk: Closing the sunroof without the ability to see it can increase the risk of injury to occupants.
