Audi describes the problem like this.
"Under certain conditions during shutdown of the infotainment main unit, an error in one of the voltage regulators may lead to damage to various components within the control unit causing a loss of all functions including the screen display. In this case, the infotainment main unit is damaged permanently and needs to be replaced."
Audi found a problem in June 2021 during production when the infotainment main units weren't working on some vehicles. The supplier was contacted and the root cause of the problem was discovered.
Then in October 2021, owners began reporting cases of infotainment system failures and in June 2022 infotainment system warranty claims were increasing.
By the infotainment system failing, the rearview camera display also fails and causes a violation of federal safety standards.
Audi expects to mail infotainment recall letters December 25, 2022, and dealers will replace the infotainment main units.
