Audi Australia is recalling 240 examples of its A1 hatchback due to an issue with the seat belt monitoring system.

    This recall affects Audi A1 models produced between 2021 and 2022.

    “Due to a manufacturing defect, the seat belt monitoring system may not indicate the seat belt status of the occupants as intended,” said the company in its recall notice.

    “As a result, there may not be a warning when the passengers do not fasten their seat belts.”

    • A total of 240 vehicles are affected
