2022-2023 VW & Audi Rearview Camera Recall 22V823000

Owners of certain 2022-2023 Volkswagen and Audi models, including the 2022 Volkswagen Golf R, should be aware of a critical safety recall. The 2022 VOLKSWAGEN Golf R recall, identified by NHTSA as 22V823000, addresses a potential malfunction where the rearview camera display may become blank or unresponsive, posing a significant safety risk.

Why This Matters

An inoperative rearview camera display severely reduces the driver's rear visibility. This condition increases the risk of a crash, particularly when reversing or parking, as drivers may not be able to see obstacles or pedestrians behind the vehicle.

What's Being Recalled

Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. is recalling specific 2022 Golf R A8, Audi S3, RS3 Sedan, Q4 E-Tron SUV, A3 Sedan, and 2022-2023 Volkswagen Golf GTI, and ID4 vehicles. The core issue is that the rearview camera image may be blank or unresponsive when the vehicle is placed in reverse gear or when the park function is manually activated. This defect means these vehicles fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 111, "Rear Visibility." This 2022 VOLKSWAGEN Golf R recall focuses on the component labeled "BACK OVER PREVENTION:DISPLAY FUNCTION."
