## What is wrong

Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. \(Audi\) is recalling certain 2022 A3 Sedan and S3 Sedan vehicles.  The child seat anchorage fitting sleeves are incorrectly marked with a different symbol than the one described in the owner's manual.  As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 225, "Child Restraint Anchorage Systems."


## What can happen

An incorrectly marked child restraint anchorage may cause confusion during child seat installation, resulting in a child seat being improperly secured and increasing the risk of injury during a crash.


## The remedy

Dealers will replace all four fitting sleeves, free of charge.  Owner notification letters were mailed May24, 2022.  Owners may contact Audi customer service at 1\-800\-253\-2834.  Audi's number for this recall is 72M7.
