What this recall means for you
The rearview camera may fail to show an image when the vehicle starts to reverse, because of a software error. Without that image, the driver's view behind the vehicle is reduced, which raises the risk of a crash while backing up. This recall covers vehicles that did not receive the earlier software update under Recall 21V-825.
An authorized Audi dealer will update the infotainment unit parameters at no charge to you. Owner notification letters were mailed March 3, 2022. If you have questions, you can contact Audi customer service at 1-800-253-2834 and reference Audi recall number 91DF.
You can also check your vehicle identification number (VIN) on the NHTSA website for any open recalls and schedule the free repair with a dealer.
