AIR BAGS:FRONTAL
- The defect
- Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. (Volkswagen) is recalling certain 2021 ID4 vehicles. The passenger air bag may be incorrectly folded. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 208, "Occupant Crash Protection."
- What it can cause
- An incorrectly folded air bag may not protect the occupant as intended during a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
- What the dealer does
- Volkswagen will replace the passenger air bag module, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed February 14, 2023. Owners may contact Volkswagen's customer service at 1-800-893-5298. Volkswagen's number to this recall is 69EH.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 55 vehicles this is a small campaign: 77% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers one model year, 2021, so the oldest vehicles on it were one model year old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Volkswagen vehicles have been recalled over the air bags 26 times before this, most recently in July 2022 as 22V543000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 1 model year the campaign names. Their owners have filed 330 complaints with NHTSA, 61 of them before this campaign was filed. 11 of those name the air bags, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in May 2021, 1 year before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 10 other recalls published here, the newest being: 25V120000 (power train), 24V651000 (structure), 24V344000 (back over prevention), 23V312000 (structure).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. with NHTSA on November 2, 2022 as campaign 22V858000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
