Summary

VolkswageneBay Group of America, Inc. (VolkswageneBay) is recalling certain 2021 ID.4 vehicles. Caps were installed on the headlight vertical aim instead the horizontal aim, allowing for horizontal adjustment of the headlight beam. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 108, “Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment.”

 

Remedy

Dealers will remove the caps from the vertical aim and install them on the horizontal aim, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed June 18, 2021. Owners may contact VolkswageneBay customer service at 1-800-893-5298. VolkswageneBay’s number for this recall is 9406.

 

Notes

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.

 

Check if your Volkswagen has a Recall

 


Issue:

The headlights in vehicles affected by this recall did not have the required cap installed over the horizontal aim adjuster during vehicle production. This makes the headlights non-compliant with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 108, Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment. Incorrectly adjusted headlights may result in reduced visibility for the driver and other motorists, which could increase the risk of a crash.

 

Repair:

REPAIR AVAILABLE โ€“ June 08, 2021 / Remove the cap from the vertical aim adjuster on each headlight and install it on the horizontal aim adjuster.

See ELSA/ServiceNet for complete repair & claiming instructions

Repair every affected inventory vehicle before delivery to consumers.

 

Parts Department:
