(Volkswagen) is recalling certain 2014-2015 Audi S7 and 2016-2018 RS7 vehicles.  The tire information label on these vehicles incorrectly lists the combined maximum weight as 1146 lbs/520 kg, when the correct combined maximum weight is actually 992 lbs/450 kg.  As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 110, \"Tire Selection and Rims.\"","consequence":"If the operator were to load the vehicle based on information on the tire information label, they could overload the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.","remedy":"Audi will notify owners, and dealers will replace the tire information label, free of charge.  The recall began on March 9, 2018.  Owners may contact Audi customer service at 1-800-253-2834.
