Volkswagen is recalling approximately 55 of its 2021 ID4 vehicles because the front passenger air bag may have been folded incorrectly during manufacturing. This defect means the vehicles fail to meet federal safety standards for occupant crash protection. Volkswagen will replace the affected air bag module in these vehicles free of charge. Owners were previously notified by mail in February 2023, but can still contact customer service to ensure their vehicle is repaired.
If an air bag is folded incorrectly, it may not deploy as intended during a collision. This can lead to the air bag failing to protect the passenger properly, significantly increasing the risk of injury during a crash.
