EQUIPMENT:OTHER:LABELS
In the event of a vehicle safety recall, an incorrect production date may prevent owners from determining if the recall affects them, increasing their risk of injury or a crash.
16V647000
ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:EMISSION CONTROL
As fuel accumulates in the EVAP system, it may leak out through the charcoal canister filter element. A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source increases the risk of a fire.

Improper side air bag deployment may increase the risk of injury in the event of a crash.

This page is about a model, not a car
Two 2015 AUDI A3 CABRIOLETs can have entirely different histories, and a recall campaign usually covers a build-date window rather than a whole model year — which a VIN does not encode, so only the door-jamb label settles it. Scanning the VIN adds the decode, the crash tests, the fuel economy and the complaints matched to that exact engine, trim and assembly plant.
