## What is wrong

Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. \(Audi\) is recalling certain 2022 E\-Tron GT vehicles.  The center seat belt buckle wiring harness may obstruct access to the right rear seat lower child seat anchors, preventing a child seat from being properly secured.

## What can happen

An improperly secured child seat increases the risk of injury during a crash.


## The remedy

Dealers will reroute and secure the center rear seat belt buckle wiring harness and, as necessary, replace a damaged buckle, free of charge.  Owner notification letters were mailed March 15, 2022.
