3 recalls covering model years 2021. To check whether your vehicle is affected, look up your 17-character VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls — a recall may apply only to some vehicles of a given year.
Volkswagen is recalling certain 2021 and 2022 Audi cars and SUVs because of a software problem with the backup camera display. When the vehicle is put into reverse, the screen may go blank or black instead of showing the view behind the vehicle. Because of this, the vehicles do not meet the federal safety rule for rear visibility. Dealers will update the software in the infotainment unit, the system that runs the center screen.
Volkswagen is recalling certain 2019 through 2021 Audi cars and SUVs, including A4, A5, A6, A7, A8, Q5, Q7, Q8 and S and RS versions. These vehicles had repairs done under an earlier recall, and the rear axle alignment may not have been checked afterward as it should have been. Rear axle alignment that is off can wear the tires out early or wear them unevenly.
Volkswagen and Audi are recalling certain 2021 and 2022 cars and SUVs because of a problem with the rear seat belts. The part of the belt that locks it in place for a child seat may switch off too early, so the child seat may not be held securely. Because of this, the vehicles do not meet the federal rule on protecting people in a crash. Dealers will check the middle rear seat belts and replace them if needed.
