Audi A5 Avant

The problem

Due to an improperly welded joint, the rear seat back may not meet crash safety requirements. In a frontal collision, there is an increased risk of injury to rear-seat passengers if a heavy load is being transported in the boot.

The product does not comply with the Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles.
