On the 2019-2026 Audi Q8, certain 2019-2026 Audi Q8 vehicles are included in NHTSA recall 25V900 / Audi 90TV because driver-assistance software can prevent the rearview-camera image from displaying. A missing rearview image reduces visibility while reversing and increases crash risk. Eligibility depends on the VIN and installed parts and software, not model year alone. The recall does not establish universal dual-screen freezing, phantom touches or hardware failure.

Common Symptoms

  • Rearview camera image does not display

How to Fix

Check the VIN for recall 25V900/90TV and contact an authorized Audi dealer. Dealers install more robust driver-assistance software free of charge. Until repaired, use extra caution when reversing. A hard reset, scan tool, relay, multimeter or temporary image recovery is not completion of the recall.
