Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 4 vehicles this is a small campaign: 96% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers one model year, 2022, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2022, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Audi vehicles have been recalled over the visibility 6 times before this, most recently in January 2017 as 17V001000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 1 model year the campaign names. Their owners have filed 32 complaints with NHTSA, 5 of them before this campaign was filed. 1 of those name the visibility, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 4 other recalls published here: 22V806000 (equipment), 22V673000 (fuel system, gasoline), 22V064000 (back over prevention), 21V825000 (back over prevention).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. with NHTSA on September 19, 2022 as campaign 22V701000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
