Recall Description
Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. (Volkswagen) is recalling certain 2023 ID4 vehicles.

Possible Effects
A vehicle door that opens unexpectedly while the vehicle is in motion increases the risk of injury.
Action
Volkswagen dealers will inspect each door handle and replace them, if necessary, free of charge. A vehicle software update will also be performed to update the door handle parameters. Interim letters notifying owners of the safety risk are expected to be mailed May 26, 2023. Owners will receive a second notice once the remedy becomes available.
