What's recalled
Component: Equipment (electrical, infotainment, video (touch)screen/monitor/unit)
Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. (Audi) is recalling certain 2021-2022 AUDI A8, A6 Allroad, E-TRON Quattro, 2022 S3, RSQ8, RS7, RS6 Avant, Q8, Q7, Q3, E-TRON Sportback Quattro, S5 Cabriolet, E-TRON GT, S5 Sportback, A7, A6, A5 Sportback, A5 Cabriolet, A4, A4 Allroad, A3, S8, SQ7, SQ8, S6, and S4 vehicles. The infotainment main unit may become damaged internally when the vehicle is shut off, resulting in an inoperative rearview camera display the next time the vehicle is started. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 111, "Rear Visibility."
The risk
An inoperative rearview camera display reduces the driver's rear visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.
The remedy and its status
Dealers will replace the infotainment main unit, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed June 6, 2022. Owners may contact Audi's customer service at 1-800-253-2834. Audi's number for this recall is 91Ei.
Status: NHTSA lists Jun 6, 2023 as the owner-notification date for this campaign.
Audi recall number 91Ei
NHTSA lists the manufacturer's own recall number for 22V806000 as 91Ei. Owner letters and dealer service departments often use this code, so a search for "91Ei recall" refers to the same campaign.
