Summary

Volkswagen is recalling approximately 5,644 model year 2025 ID. BUZZ vehicles. The third-row rear bench in these vehicles is wide enough for three passengers, but it was only designed for two people and is only equipped with two seat belts. Dealers will install trim pieces to adjust the width of the third-row seat to ensure it is used correctly, free of charge.
