Problem Description

Under certain operating conditions, the response time of the rearview camera image might not meet regulatory requirements. The rear view camera picture might not be available when beginning to back up which may cause impairment of the driver’s ability to see areas to the rear of the vehicle. This can increase the risk of a crash.

 

Corrective Action

The control unit for infotainment of the MIB3 will receive an updated set of parameters.

 

Code Visibility

On or about October 29, 2021, the campaign code will be applied to affected vehicles.

 

Owner  Notification

Owner notification will take place in November 2021. Owner letter examples are included in this bulletin for your reference.

 


Chronology :

August 13, 2021: During regular quality assurance processes it was discovered that there may be a delay in the rearview camera response time under certain conditions.

August 2021 – September 2021: Immediate investigation regarding root cause and affected vehicles. Between August 16th and September 30th, 2021 Audi and the supplier conducted several compliance tests on test benches and reference vehicles. Once it was determined that the issue was software related, the affected vehicles were blocked in the ports and the factories, and the issue was reported to the Audi Product Safety Committee as it was identified that field vehicles are also affected.

October 2021: Further reviews were conducted to identify all affected models and VIN´s from the different factories.

October 13, 2021: The Audi Product Safety Committee determines that the affected vehicles may not fully conform to FMVSS111 under certain conditions. Hence, a voluntary non-compliance recall was decided.

As of October 20, 2021 Audi is not aware of any warranty claims or customer claims due to this issue.

Reprogramming

Overview – Introduction

The Immobilizer is a theft-deterrent device that adds a layer of security to VWGoA vehicles that include the following brands: Audi, Bentley, Lamborghini, and VW. Certain repairs such as replacing emission parts cannot be performed without resetting the immobilizer code for the vehicle. This is done by a technician using the VAS for PC software to synchronize the immobilizer code embedded in the ignition key with other codes resident on parts such as the Transmission Control Module, Engine Control Module, and Instrument Cluster.

 

Before you can replace an emission part

Whenever you replace an emission-related control module, the immobilizer must be reset using the VAS for PC software. This can only be done if you meet the following requirements:

  • You have enrolled into the program (see step 1 - Complete Pass Thru Enrollment Forms)
  • You have received an email from VWGoA that contains a Security ID and Password to access the immobilizer application hosted in Germany
  • You have received an email from VWGoA that contains a certificate file (e.g. IndepeDeale.30001.300999.pfx)
  • You have installed the certificate onto your PC
  • You have obtained a J 2534-1 Pass Thru device (see recommended J 2534-1 Pass Thru devices)
  • You have performed the steps outlined in VAS for PC Setup

 

Recommended J 2534-1 Pass Thru devices

Pass thru devices are available for purchase from a recommended Manufacturer for registered workshops to perform Immobilizer functions. The Pass Thru devices that have been tested to work with VAS for PC follow:
