Volkswagen Group of America is recalling 35,325 of its 2021-2022 ID.4 electric vehicles. These vehicles may have been manufactured with door handles that allow water to enter the circuit board, which can cause the doors to pop open unexpectedly while the car is moving. This issue specifically occurs when the vehicle is subject to high lateral forces (such as during a turn) at speeds below 9 mph (15 km/h). Dealers will provide a free software update and inspect the door handles to ensure they are functioning correctly.
If a vehicle door opens unexpectedly while the car is in motion, it significantly increases the risk of occupants falling out or being injured during a turn or low-speed maneuver.
