Buying a used 2024 Volkswagen ID.4? Check these 8 recalls first

8 NHTSA recalls · 48 owner complaints on file · 2 park-outside

Battery fire risk carries over: three recalls target high-voltage cells or modules, two of them telling owners to park outside until repaired. Separate recalls cover sudden power loss shared with the Audi Q4 e-tron, a loose passenger airbag inflator, doors opening on their own, loose bolts, and roof sunshade fabric that burns too easily. Only 48 unverified owner complaints are on file, 27 electrical, with 4 crashes, 1 fire and 1 injury reported.

Before you buy

  1. 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.
  2. Ask for completion records on all three high-voltage battery recalls.
  3. Ask whether the car has ever lost drive power or gone into reduced power.
  4. Check the airbag inflator, door, and sunshade recalls against the VIN.
  5. Open recalls are repaired free at any Volkswagen dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
