Rearview mirror problems have forced Porsche and now parent company Volkswagen to collectively recall over half a million vehicles in the United States, with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration announcing the latest round of measures on Tuesday.
Volkswagen, including its Audi subsidiary, is recalling 356,649 vehicles in the U.S. due to a software bug that could lead to problems with the rearview camera image display, the NHTSA said.
Volkswagen recorded annual sales in the US market of almost 380,000 units in 2024 and almost 330,000 in 2023, the Telegraph reports.
The recall follows an announcement last week that the German automaker's luxury arm, Porsche, will recall 173,538 vehicles in the U.S., also due to a rearview camera issue, one of the largest safety recalls issued by Porsche Cars North America in recent years.
Last year, NHTSA issued recalls of vehicles with numbers 005380.KS, FN, 7203.T and similar problems with rearview cameras that increase the risk of an accident.
The Volkswagen recall affects several models from 2019 to 2026, with dealers updating the software for free, the agency said. /Telegraph/
