Abstract
I report an error in Theorem A of Automorphisms of free groups. I, New York J. Math. 19 (2013), 395-421, where it was claimed that two filtrations of the group of IA automorphisms of a free group coincide up to torsion.

In fact, using a recent result by Day and Putman, I show that, for a free group of rank 3, the opposite conclusion holds, namely that the two series differ rationally.
