Volkswagen recalls ID.4 SUVs for door handle defect
Volkswagen is recalling 98,806 of its 2021-2024 ID.4 electric crossover SUVs because the door handles may allow water to enter the circuit board assembly, a defect which can cause the doors to open unexpectedly, Volkswagen said in a report filed with NHTSA. An open door on a moving vehicle puts occupants at risk of injury, and can cause damage to objects and people who may be outside of the vehicle, the company said.
Volkswagen dealers will inspect and replace the door handles as necessary, and update the vehicle software, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed Nov. 1, 2024. Owners may contact Volkswagen's customer service at 1-800-893-5298. Volkswagen's number for this recall is 57J9. This recall expands previous recall numbers 23V-312 and 23V-213.
