What's wrong, in plain English
Volkswagen is recalling certain Golf R and ID.4 vehicles, along with some Audi and Golf GTI models. The rearview camera image may be blank or may not respond when the vehicle is shifted into reverse or when the park function is turned on by hand. Because of this, these vehicles do not meet the federal rules for rear visibility. A dealer will replace the rearview camera at no cost to the owner. Volkswagen and Audi each have a customer service line for questions.
