The recall affects 23,883 ID.4 vehicles, equivalent to “100 per cent of estimated percentage with defect,” as the roller sunshades’ material may not consistently meet FMVSS 302 performance requirements, reported IANS citing Teslarati.

On November 1, Volkswagen opted for a noncompliance recall, addressing the issue by applying flame retardant to the sunshade at no cost. No replacement parts are required. Owners of affected ID.4 vehicles will receive notifications by mail starting January 5, 2024.
Earlier this year, Volkswagen recalled nearly 21,000 ID.4 electric SUVs due to faulty battery software that could result in a sudden “loss of propulsion,” as reported.
