Volkswagen Recall 23V-436: Back over prevention – display function

Affected: 2022 Volkswagen ID.4. Filed with NHTSA on June 21, 2023, covering about 4 vehicles.

The problem

Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. (Volkswagen) is recalling certain 2022 ID.4 vehicles. The replacement infotainment central control unit (CCU) installed in the vehicle during a repair contains incorrect software that can cause the rearview camera image to be delayed or deactivated when reversing. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 111, "Rear Visibility."

The risk

A rearview camera with a delayed or deactivated image may reduce the driver's rear visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix

Dealers will update the software, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed August 18, 2023. Owners may contact Volkswagen's customer service at 1-800-893-5298. Volkswagen's number for this recall is 93S7.
