Defect

Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. (VW) is recalling certain 2021-2023 ID.4 vehicles. Due to a software issue, affected vehicles may experience center displays and instrument panel displays that do not boot, or that sporadically reset.

Displays that do not show critical information, such as vehicle speed or the rearview camera image, increase the risk of a crash.
