What's wrong?
The Tire and Loading Information label on the 2022 Audi RS 5 is the sticker on the B-pillar, the body post beside the driver's seat opening. It tells the owner the maximum combined weight of occupants and cargo for that specific vehicle. That number helps owners load the car within its certified limits.
On affected RS 5 coupe and Sportback vehicles, Audi used an incorrect value on that label. The vehicle weight had increased for the model year, but the maximum combined weight of occupants and cargo was not updated to match. The car itself is not described as having a broken mechanical part; the problem is incorrect loading information printed where owners look for it.
Owners will not feel or hear this label defect while driving. There is no warning sign before failure. The visible clue is the B-pillar label itself, which needs to be replaced with a corrected Tire and Loading Information label.

Not every 2022 Audi RS 5 is on the list. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific car is included.
What's the safety risk?
The incorrect B-pillar label can show the wrong vehicle capacity information. If an owner follows that label, the vehicle can be overloaded, which increases crash risk. Until the corrected label is installed, use care with passenger and cargo weight and schedule the repair. Repair is free at any franchised Audi dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2022 Audi RS 5 is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Audi dealer to schedule the free corrected B-pillar Tire and Loading label installation.
- Bring the recall notice if Audi mailed one. If not, reference recall number 22V102 when you call.
- Use the owner's manual or dealer guidance for load limits until the corrected label fixes the occupant-and-cargo weight information.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, an Audi technician installs a corrected Tire and Loading information label on the B-pillar. The new label fixes the incorrect maximum combined weight value for occupants and cargo on affected 2022 RS 5 vehicles. The recall repair is free, and parts and labor are covered. Audi is not offering reimbursement for this campaign, so prior out-of-pocket label work is not handled through a recall reimbursement program.
