Chronology :
June-July 2021: In vehicle production it was noticed on some vehicles that infotainment main units were inoperative. Cases were verified and root cause analysis was conducted together with the supplier. After root cause was found, an improvement measure was agreed with the supplier and implemented at the supplier´s production in mid-July 2021.
October 2021: The US market reported the first cases of main unit failures in field vehicles.
December 2021: The supplier informed Audi that due to a process error the improvement measure from July 2021 was erroneously eliminated in mid-November which was noticed on December 4, 2021. The supplier reintroduced the measure again on December 5, 2021 in production.
June 22, 2022: The US market reports an increase in warranty claims indicating a failure of the infotainment main unit and asks the Product Safety organization for an evaluation of the topic due to the effect on the functionality of the rearview camera display.
June – September 2022: The field data were analyzed and the potential safety impact as well as compliance with regulations in the affected markets were evaluated and discussed between the brands. The assessment considered the failure mode and the requirements of FMVSS 111 – Rear Visibility, which requires the display of a “field of view” of certain objects behind the vehicle upon the initiation of a backing event.
October 19, 2022: The Audi Product Safety Committee makes the determination of a non-compliance for the US and Canada and decides a non-compliance recall.
Between September 2021 and October 2022 Audi has received 746 warranty claims in the U.S. market where the infotainment main unit failed and had to be replaced. Audi has not received any reports of a crash or injury due to this topic.
