The following safety recalls have been issued by NHTSA for the Audi Q3. If you own this vehicle, check your VIN at our VIN lookup tool or NHTSA.gov to see if your vehicle is affected.
Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. (Audi) is recalling certain 2026 Q3 vehicles.

As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 118, "Power-Operated Window Systems."
Risk: Closing the sunroof without the ability to see it can increase the risk of injury to occupants.
Fix: Dealers will update the sunroof control module software and the owner's manual, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed April 22, 2026.
