What is wrong

On certain vehicles, a software problem could cause the rearview camera image not to appear on the display. Canadian regulations require the rearview image to display when the transmission is shifted into reverse gear.

Why it matters

A rearview camera image that doesn't display could reduce a driver's ability to see behind the vehicle while backing up. This could increase the risk of a crash.

What the dealer will do

Audi will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to update the rearview camera software.

What is wrong

Why it matters

A sudden loss of engine power could increase the risk of a crash.

What the dealer will do

A transmission fluid leak on the roadway could create a hazard for others by making the road slippery.

What the dealer will do

Audi Canada will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to inspect and replace the defective transmission fluid pipe, if necessary.
