The software that controls your rearview camera in your Atlas Cross Sport or Atlas helps display a clear image behind your vehicle. In some 2024-2026 models, this software might not work correctly.
Risk if Unfixed
If the rearview camera image doesn't show up on your screen, you'll have a reduced view of what's behind your vehicle. This could make it harder to see pedestrians, other cars, or obstacles, increasing the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Your Volkswagen dealer will update the rearview camera software for you, completely free of charge. You should schedule the repair as soon as you get the recall notice to ensure your camera is working properly.
