ASA3 – Re-Program Reversing Camera Control Unit and, if necessary, Replace Reversing Camera and

Surround View Cameras (Recall Campaign)

Important:
CRITICAL WARNING -This campaign includes steps where control unit(s) in the vehicle will be programmed

with the PIWIS Tester. The vehicle voltage must be maintained between 13.5 volts and 14.5 volts during this

programming. Failure to maintain this voltage could result in damaged control unit(s). Damage caused by

inadequate voltage during programming is not a warrantable defect. The technician must verify the actual

vehicle voltage in the PIWIS Tester before starting the campaign and also document the actual voltage on the

repair order.

Update of Warranty processing

Update of labor time for scope 1 and 2
Model Year:
As of 2024 up to 2026
Model Line:
Macan Electric (XAB)
Equipment:
Front and rear ParkAssist assistance systems incl. reversing camera (M-no. KA2)

or

ParkAssist assistance systems incl. Surround View (M-No. KA4)
Concerns:
Reversing camera control unit

Surround view camera
Cause:
In rare cases, the reversing camera of the affected vehicles cannot be activated when ParkAssist is

switched on due to a software error. In addition, with a very small number of affected vehicles, it is

possible that the housing of the reversing camera and individual surround view cameras in the surround

view equipment option were not bonded as per default value specifications.

As a result, no camera image is displayed in the central display when ParkAssist is activated contrary to the

default value specifications. If the camera housing is not bonded correctly, moisture can penetrate and impair

the camera image.
Action:
Re-program reversing camera control unit using the PIWIS Tester and replace reversing camera and individual surround view cameras if necessary.
