BACK OVER PREVENTION: SENSING SYSTEM: CAMERA

Manufacturer
Volkswagen Group of America, Inc.
What Happened
Your vehicle is equipped with a rearview camera that helps you see behind your car. In some 2019-2026 models, a software glitch might prevent the camera image from showing up on your screen properly.
Risk if Unfixed
If the rearview camera image doesn't display, you'll have a reduced view of what's behind your vehicle, making it harder to avoid accidents and increasing the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Your Audi dealer will update the software to fix the issue, and this repair is completely free. You should schedule the update as soon as you receive the recall notice.

BACK OVER PREVENTION:DISPLAY FUNCTION

Manufacturer
Volkswagen Group of America, Inc.
What Happened
The rearview camera display in your vehicle is meant to show you what's behind you when you're in reverse. However, in some 2021-2022 models, a software glitch might display a blank or black screen instead.
Risk if Unfixed
A blank rearview camera display means you might not see what's behind you when you're reversing, which could lead to a crash if you don't notice a pedestrian, child, or another vehicle.
Free Fix
Your Audi dealer will update the software in your infotainment system for free. This should be done as soon as possible to ensure your rearview camera display works correctly.
