BACK OVER PREVENTION: SENSING SYSTEM: CAMERA

The defect
Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. (Audi) is recalling certain 2019-2026 vehicles. Please see the recall report for a complete list of models. A software error may prevent the rearview camera image from displaying as intended. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 111, "Rear Visibility."
What it can cause
A rearview image that does not display reduces the driver's view behind the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
What the dealer does
Dealers will update the software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed January 14, 2026. Owners may contact Audi customer service at 1-800-253-2834. Audi's number for this recall is 90TV. Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) involved in this recall became searchable on NHTSA.gov on December 23, 2025.

The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.

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 356,894 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 97% of the 19,225 vehicle recalls with a published size filed from 1995 up to this one. The middle campaign among them covers 471. It covers model years 2019 to 2026, so the oldest vehicles on it were 6 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.

Audi vehicles have been recalled over the back over prevention 7 times before this, most recently in April 2025 as 25V226000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.

This site holds the complaint record for 30 of the 117 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 810 complaints with NHTSA, 609 of them before this campaign was filed. 26 of those name the back over prevention, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in January 2019, 6 years before this filing.

The vehicles on this campaign carry 49 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V240000 (service brakes, hydraulic), 26V125000 (lane departure), 25V899000 (seat belts), 25V777000 (seat belts).

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.
