What's recalled

Component: Backup camera / back-over prevention (sensing system, camera)

Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. (Audi) is recalling certain 2019-2026 vehicles. Please see the recall report for a complete list of models. A software error may prevent the rearview camera image from displaying as intended. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 111, "Rear Visibility."

The risk

A rearview image that does not display reduces the driver's view behind the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

The remedy and its status

Dealers will update the software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed January 14, 2026. Owners may contact Audi customer service at 1-800-253-2834. Audi's number for this recall is 90TV. Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) involved in this recall became searchable on NHTSA.gov on December 23, 2025.

Status: NHTSA lists Jan 14, 2026 as the owner-notification date for this campaign.

Audi recall number 90TV

NHTSA lists the manufacturer's own recall number for 25V900000 as 90TV. Owner letters and dealer service departments often use this code, so a search for "90TV recall" refers to the same campaign.
