Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

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.

Risk

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.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your vehicle records to confirm if you own a 2021 Volkswagen ID4.
  2. Contact Volkswagen customer service at 1-800-893-5298 and reference recall number 69EH to determine if your specific vehicle is included in this recall.
  3. Schedule an appointment with an authorized Volkswagen dealer to have the passenger air bag module replaced free of charge if your vehicle is affected.
  4. If you have additional questions, contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or visit www.nhtsa.gov.
