The 2022 Audi SQ8 has 3 recalls, all centered on the same issue: a software error that can prevent the rearview camera from displaying an image when the driver shifts into reverse.
When the camera fails to show a picture, the driver loses the assisted view behind the vehicle and must rely entirely on mirrors and direct sight lines to back up safely, raising the risk of striking a pedestrian, obstacle, or another vehicle. Prior software fixes did not fully resolve the underlying problem, which is why multiple recall filings exist for what is essentially the same camera display failure. One filing also notes that the defect puts these vehicles out of compliance with federal rear visibility standards. The remedy in each case addresses the camera software rather than any physical hardware on the vehicle.
