On the 2020-2026 Audi SQ8 4.0T V8, certain 2020-2026 SQ8 vehicles are included in NHTSA recall 25V900 / Audi 90TV because a software issue can prevent the rearview camera image from displaying. The amended filing lists 11,590 SQ8 vehicles, but eligibility depends on VIN and the installed parts and software rather than model year alone. A missing rearview image reduces visibility while reversing and increases crash risk.

This issue also affects: Audi RS6, Audi RS Q8

Common Symptoms

  • Rearview camera image does not display
  • One or more Top View camera images may fail sporadically
  • Camera image may return after restart or bus sleep

How to Fix

Check the VIN for recall 25V900/90TV and contact an authorized Audi dealer. Dealers will install more robust driver-assistance software free of charge. Until repaired, use extra caution when reversing and do not treat a restart, bus sleep or temporary image recovery as completion of the recall. A generic scan tool or head-unit replacement is not the recall remedy.

On the 2020-2025 Audi SQ8, audi TSB 2059363/6 applies to air-suspension-equipped 2020-2025 SQ8 vehicles when the instrument cluster reports an air-suspension malfunction and suspension control unit J775 stores C1260F0 for no communication or U112100 for a missing message, both with symptom code 262400. The bulletin identifies communication with compressor-control unit J1135; it does not establish universal air-strut, air-spring, compressor or complete-system wear.

This issue also affects: Audi e-tron, Audi A8, Audi Q8

Common Symptoms

  • Air-suspension malfunction warning in the instrument cluster

How to Fix

Inspect the wiring and connector contacts between J775 and J1135 before replacing a component. For a first passive or sporadic occurrence, clear the fault and release the vehicle. If the same passive fault returns a second time, or the fault is active or static after wiring inspection, Audi directs replacement of J1135 under current repair and parts information. Do not buy struts, springs or a compressor solely from this warning.
