Audi SQ8

Issue: 
On certain vehicles, a software problem could cause the rearview camera image not to appear on the display. Canadian regulations require the rearview image to display when the transmission is shifted into reverse gear. 

Safety Risk: 
A rearview camera image that doesn't display could reduce a driver's ability to see behind the vehicle while backing up. This could increase the risk of a crash. 

Corrective Actions: 
Audi will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to update the rearview camera software.

Issue: 
On certain vehicles, the front seat belt buckles may not have been manufactured properly. As a result, the seat belts could loosen or detach in a crash. 

Safety Risk: 
A seat belt that detaches in a crash could create an increased risk of injury. 

Corrective Actions: 
Audi will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to replace the front seat belt buckles.
