Kehoe Law Firm, P.C. is notifying consumers that Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. (“Volkswagen”) has initiated a recall of 60,490 vehicles, including certain Volkswagen and Audi models, due to an instrument panel display issue that may increase the risk of rollaway and crashes.
Affected Volkswagen & Audi Vehicles
The recall impacts the following Volkswagen and Audi vehicles:
- 2021-2023 Volkswagen ID.4
- 2022-2023 Audi Q4 e-Tron
- 2022-2023 Audi Q4 e-Tron Sportback
Issue: Faulty Gear Position Display Increases Rollaway and Crash Risk
According to Volkswagen, under certain circumstance, the “N” gear position may not be displayed on the instrument cluster when it should be. If the correct transmission gear position indicator is not shown and the electronic parking brake is not engaged, the driver may be unaware of the vehicle’s actual shift position, increasing the risk of vehicle rollaway and crashes.
To mitigate risk, Volkswagen advises vehicle owners to confirm the red parking brake indicator light is illuminated before exiting their vehicle to ensure the parking brake is engaged.
Recall Remedy: Free Software Update
Dealers will provide an updated version of the brake control unit software for affected vehicles free of charge. No reimbursement program is planned, as the recalled vehicles are under warranty.
Additional Recall Details
