NHTSA Complaint about BACK OVER PREVENTION: WARNINGS filed February 13, 2026
NHTSA complaint #2176717 (ODI reference 11717914) concerns a 2019 AUDI A7 and was filed on February 13, 2026. The owner reports the failure occurred on January 20, 2026. The report was geocoded to Texas based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as back over prevention: warnings, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same AUDI A7 cohort independently describe similar back over prevention: warnings failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data.

Complaint Description
My 2019 Audi A7 was brought to Audi Dallas on January 20, 2026, for a manufacturer safety recall involving a software update (Recall 90TV / NHTSA 25V900). During or immediately following the recall repair, the vehicle developed persistent safety system failures, including rear backup camera malfunction and repeated safety warning alerts. As a result of these recall-related failures, the vehicle has been out of service for a cumulative total of approximately twenty-four (24) days. Audi and the authorized dealer have been unable to diagnose or permanently correct the issue despite extended possession of the vehicle and multiple repair attempts. The failure of the rear camera and related safety systems creates a clear safety risk, particularly during reversing and low-speed maneuvers, and defeats the purpose of the safety recall. Communication from the dealer has been delayed and ineffective, and Audi of America has not provided a timely resolution. I am reporting this issue because th
