Volkswagen Resumes ID.4 Sales After Fixing Door Handle Defect

The recall, which affected nearly 100,000 vehicles, has been resolved with new parts, and production is set to restart soon.

Volkswagen has addressed a defect in ID.4 door handles that caused water leakage, leading to doors opening unexpectedly while driving.
The recall, issued in September 2024, impacted model years 2021-2024 and halted sales and production of the electric crossover.
Dealerships have begun installing the fix, with approximately 10% of inventory repaired and ready for sale, while owners will be notified to schedule free repairs.
Production of the ID.4 will restart at Volkswagen's Tennessee factory in the coming weeks, with the company aiming to regain its position as a top EV seller in North America.
To boost sales, Volkswagen is introducing competitive lease offers as it reintroduces the ID.4 to the market.
