2021-2022 Audi Models Recall 22V806: Camera Display

Recall 22V806 covers 6,076 2021-2022 Audi vehicles with infotainment units that can disable the rearview camera. Repair is free at any franchised Audi dealer.

What's wrong?

The infotainment main unit in these 2021-2022 Audi vehicles is the control unit behind the center console screen. It runs the display functions owners see from the driver's seat, including the rearview camera image that appears when the vehicle is shifted into reverse. That camera view is part of the rear visibility system.

On affected vehicles, the main unit can be damaged internally during vehicle shutdown. Audi traced the problem to an error in one of the voltage regulators inside the unit. When that regulator error occurs, components in the control unit are damaged and the unit loses its functions, including the screen display. The damage is permanent, so the infotainment main unit has to be replaced.

The warning sign shows up the next time the vehicle starts. The center screen will not work and will not display an image. If that happens, use extra care when backing up because the rearview camera view is not available.

Who's affected?

Covers 2021 and 2022 Audi models tied to the infotainment main unit, with both display and touchscreen functions named.

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether this recall applies to your specific vehicle.

What's the safety risk?

An inoperative rearview camera display reduces rear visibility and increases the risk of a crash while backing up. If the center infotainment screen is blank at startup, use mirrors, turn your head, and pay extra attention for people or objects behind the vehicle. Schedule the recall repair soon. Repair is free at any franchised Audi dealer.

What should I do?

1. Check your VIN to confirm your 2021-2022 Audi vehicle is included in this recall.
2. Contact your nearest franchised Audi dealer to schedule the free infotainment main unit replacement that restores the rearview camera display.
3. Bring the recall notice if Audi mailed one. If not, reference recall number 22V806 when you call.
4. Check behind the vehicle before backing up, and use mirrors and a direct rearward look if the camera display is blank.

What happens at the repair

At the dealer, an Audi technician replaces the infotainment main unit. The replacement parts and labor are free under the recall. That repair addresses the internal damage that can leave the rearview camera display inoperative after the vehicle is restarted. Audi is not offering a separate reimbursement program for this campaign because all affected vehicles are still under warranty. Ask the service desk how warranty coverage applies if you have prior repair paperwork.
