- The defect
- Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. (Volkswagen) is recalling certain 2023 ID4 vehicles. The affected vehicles may have been manufactured with door handles that allow water to enter the circuit board assembly, which can cause the door to open unexpectedly when the vehicle is subject to high lateral forces at speeds below 9 mph/15 kmh.
- What it can cause
- A vehicle door that opens unexpectedly while the vehicle is in motion increases the risk of injury.
- What the dealer does
- Volkswagen dealers will inspect each door handle and replace them, if necessary, free of charge. A vehicle software update will also be performed to update the door handle parameters. Owner letters were mailed May 26, 2023. Owners may contact Volkswagen's customer service at 1-800-893-5298. Volkswagen's number for this recall is 57J4. This recall was replaced by recall number 24V-651
- 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 15,989 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 82% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers one model year, 2023, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2023, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Volkswagen vehicles have been recalled over the structure 6 times before this, most recently in April 2022 as 22V226000. 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 453 complaints with NHTSA, 2 of them before this campaign was filed. 60 of those name the structure, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 13 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V030000 (electrical system), 26V028000 (electrical system), 25V836000 (electrical system), 25V434000 (service brakes).
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 March 29, 2023 as campaign 23V213000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
