Volkswagen rear view camera could malfunction during an ignition cycle, leading to a black screen or infotainment system freeze.
The short version
Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. reported a problem with the sensing system camera. Here is what owners need to know.
The rear view camera could malfunction during an ignition cycle, leading to a black screen or infotainment system freeze. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 111, "Rear Visibility."
A black or frozen rear view image reduces the driver's visibility when reversing, increasing the risk of a crash.
Volkswagen will notify owners, and dealers will update the infotainment system software, free of charge.
