• Infotainment software and rearview camera. (NHTSA recall 22V514000) A manufacturing defect in the eMMC memory module may cause the rearview camera image to not display.

• Tire Pressure Monitoring System sensors. (NHTSA recall 21V274000) Around 149 Arteon vehicles have miscalibrated TPMS sensors that may not detect the correct wheel sensor position after tire rotation. This may cause misidentification of low tire pressure, raising crash risk. Dealers will replace wheel electronics and tire valves at no cost.
• Brake booster pressure input rod. (NHTSA recall 21V695000) A loose pressure input rod connection on the brake booster may detach in 99 vehicles. A detached rod causes brake pedal failure, increasing crash risk. Dealers will tighten this connection free of charge.
• Rearview camera malfunction. (NHTSA recall 20V716000) Approximately 32,048 vehicles are affected by a rearview camera malfunction causing black screen or infotainment freeze during ignition. This impairs rear visibility and raises crash risk. Dealers will update infotainment software free of charge.
