What Happened
The infotainment system in your vehicle has a main unit that controls your screens and features. In certain 2021-2022 Audi models, this unit can get damaged when you shut off the car, causing problems with the rearview camera display.
Risk if Unfixed
If the rearview camera display doesn't work, you'll have reduced visibility behind your vehicle, which could increase the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Your Audi dealer will replace the infotainment main unit with a new one at no cost to you. This repair is free, and you should schedule it as soon as you receive the recall notice.
