Summary
Volkswagen
Group of America, Inc. (Volkswagen
) is recalling certain 2021 ID4 vehicles. Incorrect rear outboard seat belt assemblies without an automatic locking retractor (ALR) function may have been installed, which can prevent the child restraint system from securing properly. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 208, “Occupant Crash Protection.”
Remedy
Dealers will inspect, and replace as necessary, the rear outboard seat belt assemblies, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed August 27, 2021. Owners may contact Volkswagen
customer service at 1-800-893-5298. Volkswagen
’s number for this recall is 69CQ.
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.

Problem Description
Vehicles may have received an incorrect seat belt assembly not released for the U.S. market. Only the outer rear seats are potentially affected. The potentially incorrect seat belt assemblies do not have the automatic locking retractor (ALR) function required by FMVSS 208 implemented.
The ALR function is required in the US market by FMVSS 208 S7.1.1.5. This noncompliance does not impact the compliance or functionality of the seat belt assemblies with respect to their normal use by adult passengers or use of the LATCH system to secure child restraint seats. With child restraint seats for which the vehicle owner elects to use the seat belt to secure the child restraint seat instead of the LATCH system, if the seat belt is not lockable so that the seat belt assembly can be used to tightly secure the child restraint seat, there is an increased risk of injury in a crash to the occupant of the child restraint seat.
Corrective Action
Inspect and, if necessary, replace any incorrect seat belt assembly.
Owner Notification
Owner notification will take place in August 2021. Owner letter examples are included in this bulletin for your reference.

: Le enviamos este aviso de conformidad con la Ley Nacional de Seguridad del Tráfico y Vehículos Motorizados. Volkswagen
decidió que algunos vehículos Volkswagen
I.D.4 modelo 2021 no cumplen con la Norma federal de seguridad de los vehículos de motor (FMVSS) número 208, Protección contra choques para los pasajeros. Nuestros registros muestran que usted es propietario de un vehículo afectado por esta acción. ¿Cuál es el problema? Es posible que los vehículos tengan un ensamblaje del cinturón de seguridad incorrecto que no se lanzó para el mercado de Estados Unidos. Solo los asientos traseros al lado de las ventanillas tienen este posible defecto. Los ensamblajes de cinturones de seguridad posiblemente defectuosos no tienen implementada la función de retractor de bloqueo automático (ALR) requerida por la FMVSS 208. Este incumplimiento no afecta el cumplimiento o la funcionalidad de los conjuntos de cinturones de seguridad con respecto a su uso normal por parte de pasajeros adultos o el uso del sistema LATCH para asegurar los asientos de seguridad para niños. Con los asientos de seguridad para niños con los cuales el propietario del vehículo decide usar el cinturón de seguridad en lugar del sistema LATCH para asegurar el asiento de seguridad para niños, si el cinturón de seguridad no se puede bloquear para que el ensamblaje del cinturón de seguridad se pueda usar para asegurar firmemente el asiento de seguridad para niños, existe un mayor riesgo de lesiones en un choque para el pasajero que va en el asiento de seguridad para niños. ¿Qué vamos a hacer? Para corregir este incumplimiento, su concesionaria autorizada Volkswagen
inspeccionará y, en caso necesario, remplazará uno o los dos cinturones de seguridad de los asientos traseros que están al lado de las ventanillas. Este trabajo tardará hasta una hora y se realizará de forma gratuita. Tenga en cuenta que su concesionaria puede necesitar más tiempo para preparar la reparación, así como para adaptar el cronograma diario del taller.
