## What is wrong

Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. \(Audi\) is recalling certain 2021 Audi A8 and S8, 2022 Audi A5 Sportback, A4 Sedan, E\-Tron GT, Q3, Q5, RS6 Avant, A3 Sedan, S5 Sportback, Q5 Sportback, Q7, Q8, RSQ8, SQ7, SQ8, and S3 Sedan vehicles.  A software error may prevent the rear\-view image from initially displaying when the vehicle begins to reverse.  As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 111, "Rear Visibility."


## What can happen

A rear\-view camera that does not display an image reduces the driver's rear view, increasing the risk of a crash.


## The remedy

Dealers will update the infotainment unit parameters, free of charge.  Owner notification letters were mailed November 9, 2021.  Owners may contact Audi customer service at 1\-800\-253\-2834.  Audi's number for this recall is 91CR.


## Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1\-888\-327\-4236 \(TTY 1\-800\-424\-9153\), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
