Audi · Q7

Due to the incompatibility of the control software with the heating film used for the front camera on the windscreen, significant overheating may occur when the heating element is controlled after the ignition is switched on or at low temperatures. This may lead to a smouldering and increase the risk of the vehicle catching fire.
