Volkswagen Group of America, Inc.: Various Audi and Volkswagen Vehicles Recalled for Blank Rearview Camera

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Volkswagen Group of America is recalling approximately 2,607 vehicles across several models, including the 2022 Golf R A8, Audi S3, RS3 Sedan, Q4 E-Tron SUV, A3 Sedan, and 2022-2023 Volkswagen Golf GTI and ID4. The rearview camera image in these vehicles may fail to appear or become unresponsive when the car is put into reverse or the parking function is manually activated. This defect means the vehicles do not meet federal safety standards for rear visibility. Dealers will replace the rearview camera in affected vehicles at no cost to the owner.

Risk

If the rearview camera display is blank or unresponsive, the driver's visibility behind the vehicle is significantly reduced while reversing. This increases the likelihood of hitting objects or pedestrians, posing a serious crash risk.
