Audi South Africa recalls 235 Q3 vehicles over front seat belt defect

The National Consumer Commission announced that Audi South Africa, a division of Volkswagen Group Africa, is recalling 235 Audi Q3 vehicles sold nationally through approved dealerships from 16 April 2026. The defect involves the front seat belts, where the belt webbing may not have been correctly guided through the metal eyelet on the lap belt tensioner; the NCC said this could mean the seat belt is not connected to the vehicle's load-bearing structure. Owners are urged to take affected vehicles to dealerships for inspection and repairs where necessary.
