Summary

Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. "Volkswagen" is recalling certain 2021 Golf GTI, Jetta GLI, Jetta NF, Arteon FL, Tiguan LWB, 2022 Taos, Jetta PA, Tiguan PA, 2021-2022 Atlas Cross Sport, and Atlas FL vehicles. The manufacturing process of the eMMC memory module in the infotainment system may cause the rearview camera image not to display.

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