Plain-English summary

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

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

Dealers will update the sunroof control module software and the owner's manual, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed April 22, 2026.
