Audi S5 Sportback MY2021: seat belt loses ALR locking

What the defect does not mean

21V-606 explicitly distinguishes ALR from normal adult belt use and child-seat attachment through LATCH. This cannot become all S5 belts do not work. It also does not describe crash pretensioner activation.

What to ask the workshop

Identify which belt/seat position was checked, whether early ALR deactivation was confirmed and how the installed assembly was identified. Webbing appearance or an invoice number does not identify production batch. Child-seat use requires the actual vehicle and seat instructions.

Editorial inspection order.
