Volkswagen is recalling approximately 24,025 of its 2023-2024 ID.4 vehicles because the interior sunshade for the panoramic glass roof may not be sufficiently fire retardant. These sunshades fail to meet federal safety standards for flammability of interior materials. If a fire occurs inside the vehicle, the sunshade fabric could fuel the fire further, increasing the risk of injury to occupants. Owners can have this issue fixed by visiting a dealer to have a flame retardant treatment applied to the fabric at no cost.
The sunshade material is not sufficiently fire-resistant, meaning that in the event of an internal fire, the fabric may burn more quickly and intensely than allowed by federal safety standards, potentially spreading the fire and causing injuries.
Dealers will apply flame retardant to the sunshade fabric free of charge.
