- Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. (Volkswagen) is recalling certain 2022 Golf R A8, Audi S3, RS3 Sedan, Q4 E-Tron SUV, A3 Sedan, and 2022-2023 Volkswagen Golf GTI, and ID4 vehicles.

What this recall means for you
The rearview camera display may go blank or stop responding when the vehicle is put in reverse or when the park function is activated manually. Because the camera image is the driver's view behind the vehicle, the vehicle does not meet the federal rear visibility requirement (FMVSS 111), and reduced rear visibility increases the risk of a crash.
Dealers will replace the rearview camera free of charge. Audi owners were mailed notification letters on February 14, 2023. Volkswagen owners will receive a notification letter once remedy parts become available. You can contact Volkswagen customer service at 1-800-893-5298 (recall 91EK) or Audi customer service at 1-800-253-2834 (recall 91EL).
Check your vehicle identification number (VIN) for open recalls and schedule the free repair at an authorized dealer as soon as possible.
