The short version

Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. reported a problem with the sensing system camera. Here is what owners need to know.

WHAT

A software error may prevent the rear-view image from initially displaying when the vehicle begins to reverse. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 111, "Rear Visibility."

WHY IT MATTERS

A rear-view camera that does not display an image reduces the driver's rear view, increasing the risk of a crash.

WHAT TO DO

Take it to a dealer — they will update the infotainment unit parameters, free of charge.
