BACK OVER PREVENTION: SENSING SYSTEM: CAMERA

Manufacturer
Volkswagen Group of America, Inc.
What Happened
Your rearview camera system is the computer that helps you see what's behind your car when you're reversing. In certain 2019-2026 Audi vehicles, there's a software issue that might cause the camera image to not show up properly on your screen.
Risk if Unfixed
If the camera image doesn't display, you'll have a reduced view of what's behind your vehicle, which could make it harder to spot pedestrians, cars, or other obstacles and increase the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Your Audi dealer will update the software behind your rearview camera system to ensure it works properly – and it won't cost you a thing. Schedule the update as soon as you get the recall notice.
