What is this? Audi is recalling some Q5 cars. The seatbelt in the front seats may not work right in a crash.
What's happening? The seatbelt might tighten at first, but then it could loosen. This makes it less safe in a crash.
Does this affect me? If you own or use a Q5 in Germany or Estonia, this could affect you.
What should I do? Check with an Audi dealer right away. Ask your doctor or pharmacist if you have questions about safety.
