Recall Summary

The 2021 Audi RS 7 is subject to two distinct safety recall campaigns conducted by Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. (Audi). Both recalls address software-related failures that affect critical vehicle safety systems. The first recall (NHTSA Campaign Number 25V201000) addresses a software error in the instrument cluster that can cause the instrument panel display to fail. The second recall (NHTSA Campaign Number 25V900000) addresses a software error that may prevent the rearview camera image from displaying as intended, which constitutes a non-compliance with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 111, “Rear Visibility.” Neither recall requires owners to park the vehicle immediately or outside, and neither remedy is available via an over-the-air update.

Affected Vehicle

This record applies specifically to the 2021 Audi RS 7. However, it is important to note that the second recall (25V900000) covers a broader population of Audi vehicles from model years 2019 through 2026. Owners of the 2021 Audi RS 7 should verify their vehicle’s involvement in both recalls by using their 17-character Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) on the official NHTSA website (nhtsa.gov). The VIN lookup tool for the rearview camera recall became available on December 23, 2025. The instrument cluster recall (25V201000) was reported to NHTSA on March 31, 2025, and owner notification letters were mailed on April 24, 2025. The rearview camera recall (25V900000) was reported on December 19, 2025, with owner notification letters mailed on January 14, 2026.

Recalled Components

1. Electrical System: Instrument Cluster/Panel (Recall 25V201000)
– Component: Instrument panel display module.
– Defect: A software error within the instrument cluster module can cause the display to fail. This failure may result in the loss of critical safety information, including the speedometer, warning lights, and other essential driver alerts.
– Consequence: If the instrument panel fails to show critical safety information, the driver may be unaware of vehicle speed or active warning indicators, significantly increasing the risk of a crash.
– Remedy: Authorized Audi dealers will update the instrument panel module software free of charge. Owners can contact Audi customer service at 1-800-253-2834 and reference recall number 90VC.

2. Back Over Prevention: Sensing System – Camera (Recall 25V900000)
– Component: Rearview camera system.
– 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 condition fails to meet the requirements of FMVSS No. 111, which mandates that drivers have a clear view of the area directly behind the vehicle.
– Consequence: A rearview image that does not display reduces the driver’s ability to see obstacles, pedestrians, or other vehicles behind the RS 7, increasing the risk of a crash, particularly while backing up.
– Remedy: Authorized Audi dealers will update the relevant vehicle software free of charge. Owners can contact Audi customer service at 1-800-253-2834 and reference recall number 90TV.
