Recall Summary
The 2021 Audi RS 6 Avant is subject to two distinct safety recall campaigns conducted by Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. (Audi). Both recalls address software-related defects that affect critical vehicle safety systems. The first recall (NHTSA Campaign Number 25V201000) concerns a failure of the instrument cluster display, which may prevent the driver from seeing essential safety information such as speed, warning lights, and system alerts. The second recall (NHTSA Campaign Number 25V900000) involves a software error that can prevent the rearview camera image from displaying as intended, violating Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 111 for rear visibility. Neither recall requires the vehicle to be parked immediately outdoors or involves an over-the-air software update; both require a dealer visit for a free software update.

Recalled Components
Recall 1: Instrument Cluster/Panel (NHTSA 25V201000)
– Component: Electrical System – Instrument Cluster/Panel.
– Defect: A software error within the instrument panel module may cause the display to fail. This includes the loss of the speedometer, odometer, warning lights, and other critical driver information.
– Risk: An instrument panel that fails to show critical safety information increases the risk of a crash, as the driver may be unaware of vehicle speed, system malfunctions, or active warning alerts.
– Remedy: Audi dealers will update the instrument panel module software free of charge. The manufacturer’s internal reference for this recall is 90VC.
Recall 2: Rearview Camera System (NHTSA 25V900000)
– Component: Back Over Prevention – Sensing System – Camera.
– Defect: A software error may prevent the rearview camera image from displaying on the center console screen when the vehicle is shifted into reverse. This non-compliance with FMVSS No. 111 means the driver may not have a clear view of the area directly behind the vehicle.
– Risk: A rearview image that does not display reduces the driver’s view behind the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash, particularly with pedestrians, cyclists, or objects in the vehicle’s path.
– Remedy: Audi dealers will update the vehicle’s software free of charge. The manufacturer’s internal reference for this recall is 90TV. VINs became searchable on the NHTSA website as of December 23, 2025.
