Component

BACK OVER PREVENTION: SENSING SYSTEM: CAMERA

What Happened

Volkswagen is recalling your vehicle because the rear view camera might stop working properly, showing a black screen or a frozen image instead of the view behind your car.

Risk if Unfixed

This could make it harder for you to see what's behind your car when reversing, which increases the risk of a crash.

How to Get This Fixed

Free Fix

Volkswagen will update the software in your infotainment system for free, and you'll be notified when it's time to bring your vehicle in for the repair.
