What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: This recall addresses a fire safety violation of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 302, making it a significant risk-of-harm defect. No injuries or incidents have been reported, which limits the severity to High rather than Severe.

Plain-English summary

Volkswagen is recalling certain 2023-2024 ID.4 vehicles. The interior sunshade for the panoramic glass roof may not be sufficiently fire retardant, which means it fails to meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 302 (Flammability of Interior Materials).

If a fire occurs inside the vehicle, a sunshade that is not adequately fire retardant could accelerate the spread of flames, increasing the risk of injury to occupants.

This recall affects an estimated 24,025 vehicles. Owners will receive notification letters describing the recall. To remedy the issue, dealers will apply flame retardant treatment to the sunshade fabric at no cost to owners.

Owners should contact Volkswagen customer service at 1-800-893-5298 to schedule service. For additional information, owners may contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or visit www.nhtsa.gov.
