Volkswagen has announced the recall of all ID.4 vehicles manufactured in the United States and Canada, totaling 119,408 units.
The problem involves the electric door handles, which may malfunction due to water infiltrating the circuit board, causing the doors to open unexpectedly, posing a safety risk.
Although Volkswagen has no reports of accidents or injuries related to the defect, there have been 135 warranty claims connected to this issue.
To address the problem, the German automaker is developing updated parts and new software that will adjust the door handle parameters. Dealerships will inspect the vehicles and replace defective parts if necessary.
However, VW has not yet set a timeline for completing the fix. Owners of affected models are advised to contact an authorized dealer for vehicle inspection. This situation is similar to a previous recall last year, involving ID.4 vehicles manufactured in Germany.
