BACK OVER PREVENTION: SENSING SYSTEM: CAMERA

Manufacturer
Volkswagen Group of America, Inc.
What Happened
The rearview camera system in your vehicle is supposed to provide a clear view of what's behind your car when you're reversing. But in certain 2019-2026 models, a software glitch can cause the image to not show up as it should.
Risk if Unfixed
Without a clear view of what's behind your car, you could hit something or someone when reversing, increasing the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Your Audi dealer will update the software for free so you can rely on your rearview camera again. This repair is complimentary, and you should schedule it as soon as possible to ensure your safety on the road.
