What Happened
The rearview camera system in your vehicle displays the view behind your car when you shift into reverse. In some 2021-2022 Audi models, the screen might show a blank or black image instead of the actual view.
Risk if Unfixed
If the rearview camera display is blank, you may lose visibility of what's behind your car, which could increase the risk of a crash when reversing.
Free Fix
Your Audi dealer will update the infotainment system software to fix the issue, at no cost to you. You should schedule this update as soon as you get your recall notice.
