Audi filed this with NHTSA as a service bulletin dated Jul 21, 2023, received Aug 4, 2023, about the seat belts. It names 63 model years (2019–2023). A service bulletin is not a safety recall: it is the manufacturer telling its dealers how to diagnose or repair a condition, and whether the work is paid for depends on the warranty in force. Quoting the number at a service desk can save a diagnosis.

NHTSA groups complaints coarsely, so that means the same area of the vehicle, not necessarily the same fault.

The seat belt has now come unlocked from the locked position multiple times without unbuckling the seat. This is an issue because it's the seat belt used to install an infant car seat, so the car seat is not locked into place, which could be a major issue in the event of a crash.

The contact owns a 2022 AUDI S3. The contact received recall notification of NHTSA Campaign Numbers: 22V515000 (Seat Belts) and 22V652000 (Air Bags) however, the parts to do the recall repairs were not yet available. The local dealer was contacted.

A complaint is one owner’s account, not a defect finding, and a bulletin is not a recall. Nothing here says this bulletin was issued because of these complaints, or that the repair it describes fixed them. Complaint files on this site begin in 2015.

Common questions
Source: NHTSA, 49 CFR 579.5Is Audi A6923942056421_7 a recall?
No. A service bulletin is a manufacturer communication filed with NHTSA under 49 CFR 579.5; a safety recall carries an NHTSA campaign number (two digits, a letter, six digits) and a federal duty to repair for free. Check the vehicle’s recalls by VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls, or on its page here.
Is the A6923942056421_7 repair free?
Not automatically. A service bulletin describes how to diagnose or repair a condition; who pays depends on the warranty in force, any extension, and the dealer. Quoting the number can save a diagnosis either way.
Which vehicles does A6923942056421_7 cover?
The manufacturer filed it against 63 model years: 2023 Audi A3, 2022 Audi A3, 2023 Audi A6, 2022 Audi A6, 2021 Audi A6, 2020 Audi A6 and more. Whether one particular vehicle is affected is a matter of its VIN and its build, not its model year alone.
