BY Brad Anderson | Posted on

A multitude of 2021 and 2022 Audi models are being recalled in the United States due to an issue with the rear-view camera.

Audi says that it discovered an issue during regular quality assurance processes, noting there could be a delay in the rear-view camera response time under certain conditions. The German automaker says that as the rear-view camera picture may not be available when the vehicle is switched into reverse, the issue increases the risk of a crash.

It says that inappropriate software parameter settings are to blame as there are multiple running processes during the start-up of the infotainment system that might hinder each other and cause a delay in the activation of the rear-view camera picture.

Impacted models consist of the 2021 Audi S8, 2022 Audi S5 Sportback, 2022 Audi A4 Sedan, 2021 Audi A8, 2022 Audi e-tron GT, 2022 Audi Q3, 2022 Audi Q5, 2022 Audi RS6 Avant, 2022 Audi A3, 2022 Audi A5 Sportback, 2022 Audi Q5 Sportback, 2022 Audi Q8, 2022 Audi Q8, 2022 Audi RSQ8, 2022 Audi SQ7, 2022 Audi SQ8, and the 2022 Audi A3 Sedan.
