Volkswagen Group of America is recalling 19 units of the 2020 Audi Q7 because the front camera's heating element on the windshield may overheat. This issue is caused by a software incompatibility between the camera control system and the heater. Dealers will provide a free repair that includes both a software update and a physical replacement of the heating element.
The heating element used to clear the front camera can reach excessively high temperatures due to incorrect software commands. If the element overheats, it creates an immediate fire hazard within the vehicle cabin.
