What is being recalled
Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. (Volkswagen) is recalling certain 2021 ID.4 vehicles. Caps were installed on the headlight vertical aim instead of 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."
Why it is dangerous
Adjusting the horizontal headlight beam can increase glare, reducing visibility for the driver and increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix (free at any franchised dealer)
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 Volkswagen customer service at 1-800-893-5298. Volkswagen's number for this recall is 9406.
Recall repairs are always free, regardless of vehicle age or where you bought the car. Quote the campaign number 21V-413 when calling a dealer.
