What Happened
The infotainment screen in your vehicle is the part that shows you the rearview camera and other important info. In some 2021-2022 Audi models, this screen can get damaged when you turn off the car, making it blank the next time you start the engine.
Risk if Unfixed
If the rearview camera display is out, you'll have a harder time seeing what's behind you, increasing the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Your Audi dealer will swap out the infotainment screen for a new one at no cost to you. You should schedule the repair as soon as you get the recall notice.
