Does a recall affect your Volkswagen ID4?

Not every Volkswagen ID4 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.

Backrest bolted connection

Launched 22 May 2024 DVSA recall R/2024/221 Manufacturer ref. 72Y1

Defect
On VW ID.4 and ID.7 vehicles of a limited production period the bolted connection of the front seats between backrest and seat pan may be incorrect. The restraint effect of the seat may be insufficient in the event of an accident. There is therefore an increased risk for occupants.

  • Road vehicle recalls (DVSA numbers starting R/) whose model names match the Volkswagen ID4. 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.
