Volkswagen Recalls More Than 350,000 Audi Vehicles Over Backup Camera Failure

Owner notices are slated for Feb. 17, with NHTSA pointing to a software-related glitch that can blank the backup camera image.

Overview

  • The recall spans 2019–2026 model years across A6, A6 Allroad, A7, A8, E-Tron and E-Tron GT variants, Q7, Q8, and RS and S performance models.
  • Dealers will install a no-cost software update to restore proper rearview display once notifications are issued.
  • NHTSA says transient signal noise between control units and cameras may interrupt the image, with the precise root cause still under investigation.
  • The action follows a December recall of more than 170,000 Porsche vehicles for a similar rearview camera problem.
  • Owners can check their vehicle’s status by searching the VIN in NHTSA’s online recall database.
