What this recall means for you
A software error can cause the instrument panel display to fail, so critical information such as the speedometer and warning lights may not be shown to the driver.
When the display fails to show these items, drivers may not notice speed or important warnings, which increases the risk of a crash. Owners of affected vehicles should be aware of this possibility.
Dealers will update the instrument panel module software at no cost to the owner. Owner notification letters were mailed April 24, 2025. To check whether your vehicle is included, enter your VIN for open recalls, or contact Audi customer service at 1-800-253-2834 (reference recall 90VC).
