VISIBILITY:SUN/MOON ROOF ASSEMBLY

NHTSA campaign 26V209000 · Volkswagen Group of America, Inc.

Summary

Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. (Audi) is recalling certain 2026 Q3 vehicles. Incorrect software may allow remote sunroof closing from a distance that prevents the operator from clearly seeing the sunroof. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 118, "Power-Operated Window Systems."

Consequence

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

Remedy

Dealers will update the sunroof control module software and the owner's manual, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed April 22, 2026. Owners may contact Audi customer service at 1-800-253-2834. Audi's number for this recall is 57KS. Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) involved in this recall became searchable on NHTSA.gov on April 7, 2026.

NHTSA has not crash-tested the 2026 AUDI Q3, so it has no 5-Star Safety Ratings.
