Recall Summary

Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. (Audi) has issued a safety recall (NHTSA Campaign Number 25V900000) affecting certain 2023 Audi A6 vehicles. The recall addresses a non-compliance with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 111, “Rear Visibility.” Specifically, a software error within the vehicle’s electronic systems may prevent the rearview camera image from displaying on the infotainment screen when the vehicle is placed in reverse. This condition does not cause the camera to fail entirely in all instances, but the intermittent or complete loss of the rearview image reduces the driver’s ability to see obstacles, pedestrians, or other vehicles directly behind the vehicle. As a result, the risk of a crash is increased. This is a software-related defect; it is not a physical failure of the camera lens or wiring. The recall was officially reported to NHTSA on December 19, 2025, and Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) involved in this campaign became searchable on the NHTSA website on December 23, 2025.

Recalled Components

– Component: BACK OVER PREVENTION: SENSING SYSTEM: CAMERA
– Nature of Defect: A software error in the vehicle’s control module that manages the rearview camera display. The error can prevent the camera image from appearing on the center console screen when the transmission is shifted into reverse.
– Safety Risk: Without a functioning rearview camera display, the driver’s rearward visibility is significantly reduced. This non-compliance with FMVSS No. 111 increases the likelihood of a collision, particularly with pedestrians, small children, or low-lying objects behind the vehicle.
– Parking Instructions: According to the source data, this recall is not classified as a “park it” or “park outside” situation. Owners do not need to immediately stop driving the vehicle or park it away from structures. However, drivers should exercise extra caution when reversing, using their mirrors and turning their head to check behind the vehicle until the repair is completed.
– Over-the-Air Update: This recall cannot be performed via an over-the-air (OTA) update. The software correction requires a physical visit to an authorized Audi dealership.

1. Immediate Action: While no immediate parking restriction is required, owners should be aware that the rearview camera may not function correctly. Use traditional mirrors and direct observation when reversing.
