Volkswagen Group of America is recalling approximately 170,296 Audi vehicles across various 2021 and 2022 models due to a software issue that may prevent the rearview camera from showing an image. When affected vehicles are shifted into reverse, the infotainment screen may display a blank or black image instead of the area behind the vehicle. This defect means the vehicles fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards for rear visibility. To resolve this issue, Audi dealers will provide a free software update to the infotainment unit.
A blank rearview camera display significantly reduces the driver's visibility while backing up, which increases the likelihood of a crash or striking a pedestrian.
