BACK OVER PREVENTION: SENSING SYSTEM: CAMERA

Manufacturer
Volkswagen Group of America, Inc.
What Happened
The rearview camera system in your vehicle helps you see what's behind you. There's a problem with the software that controls this system in certain 2019-2026 models, which might cause the image to not show up correctly.
Risk if Unfixed
If the rearview camera image doesn't display, you'll have a reduced view of what's behind your vehicle. This could increase the risk of a crash, especially when reversing or backing up.
Free Fix
Your Audi dealer will update the software for the rearview camera system, at no cost to you. You should schedule this free repair as soon as possible.

BACK OVER PREVENTION:DISPLAY FUNCTION

Manufacturer
Volkswagen Group of America, Inc.
What Happened
The rearview camera display in your vehicle shows you what's behind you when you're reversing. In some 2021 and 2022 models, a software glitch can cause the screen to show a blank or black image instead of the actual view.
Risk if Unfixed
If your rearview camera display is blank, you'll have limited visibility of the area behind your vehicle. This could increase the risk of a crash, especially when reversing in tight spaces or parking lots.
Free Fix
Your Audi dealer will update the infotainment system software for free, so you can get a clear rearview camera image again. You should schedule the update as soon as you get the recall notice.
