Every road vehicle recall DVSA lists for the Volkswagen Id Buzz since 1992: what the problem is, how it is put right, how many vehicles it covers and when they were built. Newest first.
Not every Volkswagen Id Buzz is affected. Each recall covers cars built on particular dates or with
particular VINs, which DVSA’s file does not list in full. To check a specific car, use
GOV.UK’s vehicle recall check with its registration, or ask
the manufacturer or a dealer, who can check the VIN.
54% of the Volkswagen Id Buzzes on the DVLA record are vans, and DVSA’s recalls cover every
body type, so some of these recalls may apply only to vans.

Road vehicle recalls (DVSA numbers starting R/) whose model names match the Volkswagen Id Buzz. DVSA records some recalls under a range or chassis name we cannot match, so this list may be incomplete.
Vehicles affected is the number the manufacturer reported to DVSA. When one recall covers several models, DVSA often gives only the total.
Build dates are the periods the manufacturer gave. Some recalls have none. VINs are not shown.
Concerns written in capitals have been put in sentence case, and apostrophes lost in DVSA’s file have been put back. The text is otherwise DVSA’s.
