Volkswagen to Recall Nearly 99,000 EVs in U.S. Over Door Handle Issues
The NHTSA said the recall, which includes ID.4 EVs from model years 2021-2024, might have been built with door handles that do not meet the factory specifications for ingress protection.
Water seeping into the printed circuit board from the doors can lead to malfunctions causing the locks to open, the NHTSA added.
Volkswagen dealers will inspect and replace the door handles as necessary, and update the vehicle software for free, the auto safety regulator said.
