Buying a used 2024 Volkswagen ID.4? Check these 8 recalls first
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
- 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.
- Ask for completion records on all three high-voltage battery recalls.
- Ask whether the car has ever lost drive power or gone into reduced power.
- Check the airbag inflator, door, and sunshade recalls against the VIN.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Volkswagen dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
