Volkswagen Recalls Over 60,000 Electric Vehicles Due to Gear Display Malfunction

The recall affects Volkswagen ID.4 and Audi Q4 e-Tron models from 2021 to 2023 over a software issue that could lead to rollaway risks.

A total of 60,490 vehicles are being recalled, including the Volkswagen ID.4 (2021-2023) and Audi Q4 e-Tron and Q4 e-Tron Sportback (2022-2023).
The issue stems from a software glitch that causes the gear position to fail to display properly on the instrument panel.
The malfunction increases the risk of the vehicle rolling away if the parking brake is not engaged, posing potential safety hazards.
Volkswagen and Audi dealerships will update the brake control software free of charge, with owner notification letters set to be mailed on April 25, 2025.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has emphasized the importance of addressing this compliance issue with federal safety standards.
