## What is wrong

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."


## What can happen

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


## The 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.
