NHTSA Discloses Volkswagen to Recall Vehicles at Risk of Unexpectedly Opening Doors
By Denny Jacob
U.S. auto-safety regulators disclosed that Volkswagen Group of America will recall certain vehicles after finding their door handles may allow water to enter the circuit board assembly, which can cause the doors to open unexpectedly.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said Volkswagen is recalling certain ID.4 vehicles from 2021 to 2024. The estimated percentage of vehicles with a defect is about 1%, according to a report from the regulator.
Volkswagen isn't aware of any crashes or injuries as a result of the issue, according to the report.
Volkswagen didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.
NHTSA said Volkswagen dealers will inspect and replace the door handles as necessary, and update the vehicle software, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed Nov. 1, it added.
