2025 Audi Q6 and SQ6 e-tron vehicles recalled for faulty rearview camera

Audi is recalling certain 2025 Q6 e-tron and SQ6 e-tron vehicles. The rearview camera may show a blurry image, failing to meet rear visibility standards and increasing crash risk.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: This is a failure of a critical safety system (rear visibility) that fails to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 111. While no injuries or accidents have been reported, the defect creates a demonstrable risk of crashes, fitting the 'risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported' category in the rubric.

Plain-English summary

Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. (Audi) is recalling certain 2025 Q6 e-tron and SQ6 e-tron vehicles because the rearview camera may display a blurry image. This defect causes the vehicles to fail Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 111, which governs rear visibility requirements.

A blurry rearview image can significantly reduce the driver's ability to see what is behind the vehicle when reversing or backing up. This reduced visibility increases the risk of a crash with other vehicles, pedestrians, or objects.

Dealers will replace the rearview camera and inspect surround view cameras as necessary at no cost to owners. Owner notification letters were mailed on May 2, 2025. Owners should contact Audi customer service at 1-800-253-2834 or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 888-327-4236 for more information.
