What's wrong?
The center rear seat belt buckle wiring harness in the 2022 Audi E-Tron GT carries electrical signals for the center buckle. That wiring should stay routed and secured away from the right rear lower child seat anchors, the metal LATCH points used to lock a child seat into the seat base. When the anchors are clear, the child seat connectors can attach fully.
On affected E-Tron GT vehicles, the harness was routed incorrectly during production. The loose or misplaced harness can sit in the path to the inner lower child seat anchor on the right rear seat. That obstruction prevents the child seat connector from locking onto the anchor as designed, so the child seat is not secured the way the safety standard requires.
When installing a child seat on the right rear seat, you can notice the problem at the anchor. The connector will not attach cleanly to the inner lower LATCH anchor, or the seat will not tighten and sit secure.
Who's affected?
The scope centers on rear seat belt buckle and anchorage parts tied to the same fabric tape used for the wiring harness.

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether this recall applies to your specific vehicle.
What's the safety risk?
An improperly secured child seat increases the risk of injury during a crash. If a child seat will not lock into the inner lower LATCH anchors on the right rear seat, do not use that position for a child seat until the repair is complete. Repair is free at any franchised Audi dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2022 Audi E-Tron GT is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Audi dealer to schedule the free rear seat belt buckle wiring harness repair that clears access to the right rear lower child seat anchors.
- Bring the recall notice if Audi mailed one. If not, reference recall number 22V084 when you call.
- Avoid using the right rear lower child seat anchors until the dealer completes the repair and confirms the child seat anchor access is clear.
- Call Audi customer service at 1-800-253-2834 with questions about scheduling or the repair.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, an Audi technician reroutes and secures the center rear seat belt buckle wiring harness so it does not block access to the right rear lower child seat anchors. If the buckle is damaged, the technician replaces it. Parts and labor are free under the recall. Audi is not offering reimbursement for this campaign, so the dealer repair is the covered path for included vehicles.
