What's wrong, in plain English
Audi is recalling certain 2019 through 2026 vehicles, including A6, A7, Q7, Q8 and e-tron models. A software error can keep the backup camera picture from showing on the screen the way it is supposed to. Because the rear camera view may not appear, these vehicles do not meet the federal safety rule covering what a driver must be able to see behind the vehicle.
