What is this? Audi A5 Avant cars may have a weak spot in the rear seat back. The metal joint that holds it may not be welded correctly.
What's happening? Because of this, the seat back might not protect passengers well in a crash. If the boot carries heavy items, the risk of injury goes up.
Does this affect me? This problem is in cars sold in Germany, Estonia, and France. If you own or drive one of these cars, you may be at risk.
What should I do? Take your car to an Audi dealer right away. Ask your dealer or doctor if you have questions about safety.
