What's wrong?
The rearview camera on the 2022-2023 S3, ID.4, Golf R, A3, RS 3, GTI, and Q4 E-Tron sends a live image to the center display when the vehicle is placed in reverse or when the park function is activated. On several of these models, the camera is built into the rear swing logo. Its job is simple: show the area behind the vehicle so the driver has the rear visibility required for backing up.
The problem starts inside the camera. During supplier production, solder joints on the printed circuit board were exposed to excessive mechanical pressure from a pusher tool. Solder joints are the small electrical connections that hold parts of the circuit together. When those joints are damaged, the camera signal can fail, leaving the rearview image blank or the display unresponsive.
Before the camera fails, the system can show a message that the rearview camera is not available. That message is the warning sign to take seriously.

What's the safety risk?
An inoperative rearview camera display can reduce rear visibility and increase the risk of a crash while backing up. If the display says the rearview camera is not available, use mirrors, look over your shoulder, and schedule the repair soon. Repair is free at any franchised Audi dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2022-2023 Audi S3, ID.4, Golf R, A3, RS 3, GTI, or Q4 E-Tron is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Audi dealer to schedule the free rearview-camera replacement that fixes the blank or unresponsive reverse-camera display.
- Bring the recall notice if Audi mailed one. If not, reference recall number 22V823 when you call.
- Use extra care when backing up until the repair is complete. Check mirrors and your surroundings directly instead of relying only on the camera display.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, an Audi technician replaces the rearview camera covered by recall 22V823. Parts and labor are free under the recall. Out-of-pocket camera repairs already paid are handled through the existing warranty, not through a separate reimbursement program, because the affected vehicles are still under warranty. Ask the Audi service desk how warranty coverage applies if you have prior repair paperwork.
