Reported Feb 15, 2023 · 12,100 vehicles affected · Volkswagen Group of America, Inc.

Problem: Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. (Audi) is recalling certain 2009-2015 Q7 vehicles. The Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) listed on the certification label is incorrect, which can allow the vehicle to be overloaded. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 110, "Tire Selection and Rims," and Part 567, "Certification."

Risk: An overloaded vehicle can increase the risk of a crash.

Fix: Dealers will install an overlay label containing the correct rear GAWR on top of the existing safety certification label, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed April 24, 2023. Owners may contact Audi's customer service at 1-800-253-2834. Audi's number for this recall is 50G5.

Fuel/Propulsion System · reported Nov 11, 2026
I have the same identical issue as experienced in these models but for some reason my vehicle VIN is not on the list. The problem details are below. 2007–2012 (gasoline models) and certain 2013–2015/2017 (gasoline models) Audi Q7s are covered by factory recalls for a fuel pump flange that can develop fine cracks/fissures, allowing fuel leaks and a strong fuel smell (often noticed toward the rear). This is the issue of a fuel flange/tank-related problem causing rear fuel odor. It is not a general crack in the plastic fuel tank itself in most cases, but cracking of the fuel pump flange…
Fuel/Propulsion System · reported Nov 9, 2026
My 2014 Audi Q7 3.0 TDI suffered a high-pressure fuel-pump failure while I was in traffic with my children in the vehicle. The check-engine light had briefly come on and then turned off. The vehicle became inoperable. An independent shop confirmed extensive metal contamination in the fuel-metering valve and injection pump using Audi TSB 2036668. The vehicle remains unrepaired and available for inspection. I am concerned this failure could cause a dangerous loss of vehicle operation in traffic.
