Details

What's wrong: Volkswagen group of america, Inc. (Volkswagen) is recalling certain 2023 id4 vehicles. The affected vehicles may have been manufactured with door handles that allow water to enter the circuit board assembly, which can cause the door to open unexpectedly when the vehicle is subject to high lateral forces at speeds below 9 mph/15 kmh.

Why it matters: A vehicle door that opens unexpectedly while the vehicle is in motion increases the risk of injury.

The fix: Volkswagen dealers will inspect each door handle and replace them, if necessary, free of charge. A vehicle software update will also be performed to update the door handle parameters. Owner letters were mailed May 26, 2023.
