Audi: a large-scale recall of selected models continues News from Auto Plus in your smartphone News from Auto Plus in your inbox

No manufacturer escapes recall campaigns, which have been especially numerous in recent months. Indeed, it often happens that there are several small problems in cars that are important to solve. Because it can sometimes affect the safety of passengers, as was the case with Ferrari, where some models had problems related to brake fluid. We also remember Peugeot, whose 208, 3008 and 5008 presented a risk of fire due to problems with the electronics. Today, it’s another manufacturer’s turn to get people talking. This is Audi, which is also organizing a large-scale recall campaign for some of its models.

170,000 copies

Indeed, no less than 170,000 cars have been affected by this operation, which is currently only being carried out THE UNITED STATES. Quite surprising as some of the vehicles sold in Europe are produced on the same assembly lines. A recall may be arranged a little later by the ring brand. But then what is the problem? This concerns rear view camera. In some cars, when this is enabled, the center touchscreen is disabled. Thus, it is impossible to see the image of the camera, which therefore loses all interest. This is a software issue that is easy to fix.

Several models

Thus, we are talking about many models, mainly produced in 2021. Among them, we will mention Q5 and its version Sportback, e-tron, series A5, A6 and A7 or Q7 and Q8, among others. Fixing this problem requires a simple quick visit to the workshop to update the software. Logically, this procedure should be undertaken by the Audi company.
