    Equipment:other:labels

    Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. (Audi) is recalling certain 2009-2015 Q7 vehicles.

    Risk: An overloaded vehicle can increase the risk of a crash.

    Remedy: Dealers will install an overlay label containing the correct rear GAWR on top of the existing safety certification label, free of charge.
