Volkswagen recalls vehicles with rear view camera issue

Volkswagen Group of America is recalling 31,947 model year 2021 Atlas Cross Sports, Tiguan LWBs, Jetta NFs, Jetta GLIs, Golf GTIs, Atlas FLs and Arteons.

The rear view camera could malfunction during an ignition cycle, leading to a black screen or infotainment system freeze.

The recall is expected to begin January 15, 2021.

Owners may contact Volkswagen customer service at (800) 893-5298. Volkswagen's number for this recall is 91BB/91BC.
