Volkswagen ID.4 passenger airbag inflator fasteners may be loose

Volkswagen is recalling certain 2023-2024 ID.4 vehicles because the fasteners securing the passenger frontal airbag inflator may be loose, so the airbag may not deploy as intended.

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).

The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: Rubric level 4 covers structural vehicle defects: a loosely secured inflator means the frontal airbag may not deploy as designed, removing occupant protection in a crash.
