91EL USA IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL This notice applies to your vehicle: , NHTSA: 22V823 Subject: Compliance Recall 91EL – Rearview Camera Dear Audi Owner, This notice is sent to you in accordance with the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act. Audi has decided that certain 2022 model year Audi vehicles fail to conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 111, Rear Visibility. Our records show that you are the owner of a vehicle affected by this action. What is the issue? On the affected vehicles, after shifting into reverse or manually activating the parking function, the rearview camera picture may not be displayed. The rearview camera image may not meet the regulatory response time requirement. A rearview camera with a deactivated image can reduce the driver’s information of what is behind the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash or injury to people outside the vehicle. What will we do? To correct this noncompliance, your authorized Audi dealer will replace the rearview camera. This work will take about a day to complete and will be performed for you free of charge. Please keep in mind that your dealer may need additional time for the preparation of the repair, as well as to accommodate their daily workshop schedule. What should you do? Please contact your authorized Audi dealer without delay to schedule this recall repair. For your convenience, you can also visit www.audiusa.com and click on the “Find a Dealer” link to locate a dealer near you and schedule this service.

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. 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 haremos? Para corregir este defecto, su concesionario Audi autorizado reemplazará la cámara trasera. Este servicio durará aproximadamente una hora 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 de inmediato con un concesionario autorizado de Audi para programar este servicio de reparación. También puede visitar el sitio www.audiusa.com y hacer clic en “Find a Dealer” (Buscar concesionario) para encontrar un concesionario cercano a su domicilio y programar este servicio. ¿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.
