Close to 99,000 ID.4 vehicles are being recalled due to the door opening unexpectedly while driving.
Here is what to know about the vehicle recall published by NHTSA on Sept. 4:
Volkswagen EV recall
The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said that Volkswagen would recall 98,806 electric SUVs in order to fix their door handles.
The NHTSA said these vehicles may have been built with door handles that do not meet "factory specifications."
Reuters reported that water can seep into the printed circuit board through the doors leading to malfunctions, subsequently causing the locks on the doors to open.
