The 2025 Audi A5 has two recalls, both involving seat belt retractors that can fail to properly restrain occupants in a crash.
The front seat belt recall involves a torsion bar inside one or both front retractors that may have been damaged during production. In a crash, that bar can fail, allowing the belt to spool out rather than hold the occupant in place. The second recall affects the rear seat belts, where the automatic locking retractor may not engage when a child seat is installed using the belt, leaving the child seat inadequately secured.
