What's wrong?
The ICAS3 central control unit in the 2022 Volkswagen ID.4 is the infotainment computer. It runs the center display and handles the rearview camera image that appears when the vehicle is shifted into reverse. That camera feed helps the driver see the area behind the vehicle while backing up.
On affected ID.4 vehicles, a replacement infotainment control unit was installed during a prior repair with software that was not released for the U.S. market. That incorrect software affects the rear visibility function. When the driver reverses, the rearview camera image can appear late or shut off instead of showing the view behind the vehicle at the right time.
There is no warning sign before failure. The warning is the camera behavior itself: the image appears late or does not stay active while reversing.

What's the safety risk?
A delayed or deactivated rearview camera image reduces visibility behind the ID.4 and increases the risk of a crash while backing up. There is no warning sign before the camera image fails, so check behind the vehicle carefully and schedule the software update. Repair is free at any franchised Volkswagen dealer.

What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Volkswagen technician updates the software connected to the replacement infotainment central control unit.
