The NHTSA investigation is looking at some 51,500 potentially affected ID.4s that were previously subject to two different door-related recalls.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened a recall query for certain Volkswagen ID.4 electric crossovers built between 2021 and 2023. This was prompted by 12 complaints that say doors opened while on the move for vehicles that had already been subject to two earlier door handle-related recalls. Around 51,500 vehicles could potentially be affected by this defect.
It can cause the door handles to get an “open door” command, which they should typically only get when the user issues this command by pulling on the interior and exterior door handles. The NHTSA notice for this defect says, “the door could open unexpectedly when the vehicle is subject to high lateral forces at speeds below 9 mph/ 15 km/h” and “a vehicle software update is performed to update the door handle operating parameters.
