BACK OVER PREVENTION: SENSING SYSTEM: CAMERA

Manufacturer
Volkswagen Group of America, Inc.
What Happened
Your Audi's rearview camera is the system that shows you what's behind your vehicle when you're reversing. In some 2019-2026 models, a software glitch might prevent this image from showing up on your screen.
Risk if Unfixed
If the rearview image doesn't display, your view of what's behind your vehicle is impaired, which could lead to a crash, especially when reversing out of a parking space or driveway.
Free Fix
Your Audi dealer will update the software for your rearview camera system, ensuring you get a clear view of what's behind you, free of charge. You should schedule the update as soon as possible, especially since you've already received a recall notice in the mail.
