Audi Sedans and SUVs May Lose Dashboard Display

NHTSA campaign 25V201000 · Reported 2025-03-31 · Volkswagen Group of America, Inc.

medium How serious is it? About this label

Moderately serious, because driving without a speedometer or warning lights raises the chance of a crash; the notice does not tell owners to stop driving, and the repair is a quick free software update.

What's wrong, in plain English

A software error can make the main dashboard display go blank. That screen is where your speedometer, fuel gauge and warning lights live, so if it quits you will not know how fast you are going or whether the car is trying to warn you about something else. A dealer reloads the instrument panel software at no charge, and no parts are needed. Audi mailed owner letters on April 24, 2025, so the fix is available now.

What you should do

1. Check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to confirm your vehicle is included.
2. Book a service appointment with your Audi dealer for recall 90VC; the software update is free.
3. If you have questions or never got a letter, call Audi customer service at 1-800-253-2834.
