Buying a used 2022 Volkswagen ID.4? Check these 7 recalls first
Seven recalls, none rated critical but several drivability-related: doors that may open on their own (two separate recalls), dashboard screens that can go blank or restart, and a gear-position display that may not appear, creating rollaway risk. Three further recalls address a backup camera image that is delayed, blank or missing. NHTSA lists 135 unverified owner complaints, more than half electrical, with 15 crashes, 10 injuries and one fire reported — fewer overall than the 2021 model year.
Before you buy
- Get the 17-character VIN from the seller and run it at nhtsa.gov/recalls. It shows which recalls are still unrepaired on that exact car.
- Confirm the door-opening and gear-display recalls were completed on this VIN.
- Test the backup camera on several separate starts, since three recalls target that image.
- Watch the dashboard screens through a full drive cycle for blanking or restarts, and ask about speed-control or collision-warning behavior.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Volkswagen dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
