Audi rearview camera may fail to show image medium

Reported Dec 19, 2025 · Campaign 25V900000 · Model years: 2019

Audi is recalling certain 2019 through 2026 vehicles, including A6, A7, Q7, Q8 and e-tron models.

Audi S8 Engine Control Module Moisture Risk high

Reported Feb 24, 2021 · Campaign 21V111000 · Model years: 2019

Some Audi vehicles are missing a small sealing pin in the connector for the engine's control computer. Without that pin, moisture can get into the connector, and moisture inside the connector can cause the control computer to malfunction. If the control computer malfunctions, the engine may stall while you are driving. Dealers will check the connector for the missing pin and for corrosion, and fix it if needed.
