Volkswagen detectó que ciertos vehículos Volkswagen modelos 2022-2023 no se ajustan a la norma federal n.º 111 de Seguridad de Vehículos Motorizados con respecto a la visibilidad trasera. Nuestros registros indican que usted es propietario de uno de los vehículos afectados por esta campaña. Acerca de esta campaña de llamada a revisión: En los vehículos afectados, es posible que, luego de colocar la marcha atrás o de activar de forma manual la función de aparcamiento, la imagen de la cámara trasera no se muestre. Es posible que la cámara trasera no cumpla con los requisitos de tiempo de respuesta regulatorios. Una cámara trasera con una imagen desactivada puede reducir la información que tiene el conductor sobre lo que está detrás del vehículo, lo que aumenta el riesgo de sufrir un accidente o lesiones para las personas que están fuera del vehículo. ¿Qué precauciones debe tomar? Si la imagen de la cámara trasera está desactivada al dar marcha atrás, los conductores deben tener más precaución al dar marcha atrás con el vehículo. Además, en determinados vehículos, es posible que el sistema muestre información que indica que la cámara trasera no está disponible. El servicio de reparación por la llamada a revisión aún no está disponible. Volkswagen está trabajando para que el servicio de reparación por la llamada a revisión esté disponible lo antes posible. Le enviaremos otra carta una vez que las reparaciones puedan comenzar. A partir de ese momento, podrá programar este trabajo con su concesionario Volkswagen autorizado.

Nuestros registros indican que usted es propietario de uno de los vehículos afectados por esta campaña. ¿Cuál es el problema? En los vehículos afectados, es posible que, luego de colocar la marcha atrás o de activar de forma manual la función de aparcamiento, la imagen de la cámara trasera no se muestre. Es posible que la cámara trasera no cumpla con los requisitos de tiempo de respuesta regulatorios.

Para corregir este defecto, su concesionario Volkswagen autorizado reemplazará la cámara trasera. Este servicio durará aproximadamente un día y se le ofrecerá de forma gratuita. No obstante, considere la posibilidad de que su concesionario necesite tiempo adicional para la preparación del servicio y la organización del horario del taller. ¿Qué debe hacer? Comuníquese con su concesionario Volkswagen autorizado de inmediato para programar este servicio de revisión. Para concertar una cita en línea, visite www.vw.com/find-a-dealer. ¿Qué precauciones debe tomar? Si la imagen de la cámara trasera está desactivada al dar marcha atrás, los conductores deben tener más precaución al dar marcha atrás con el vehículo. Además, en determinados vehículos, es posible que el sistema muestre información que indica que la cámara trasera no está disponible. Vehículos rentados y cambios de dirección Si usted es el arrendador y propietario registrado del vehículo identificado en esta campaña, la ley exige que reenvíe esta carta de inmediato al arrendatario por correo de primera clase en el plazo de los diez (10) días posteriores a la recepción.
