Over 60,000 Volkswagen and Audi electric cars recalled for risk of rollaway
Over 60,000 Volkswagen and Audi electric vehicles have been recalled for a faulty gear display that could increase the chance of the vehicle rolling away, according to The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Impacted vehicles may not display the 'N' gear position on the instrument panel, causing risk of driver confusion and a failure to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. 'If the correct transmission gear position indicator is not shown and the electronic parking brake is not engaged, the driver may be unable to identify the transmission shift position, increasing the risk of a crash and vehicle roll away,' a Volkswagen dealer communication reads. The recall affects 2022-2023 Audi Q4 e-Trons and Q4 Sportback e-Trons, as well as 2021-2023 Volkswagen ID.4s. All impacted vehicles are fully electric. Audi is a subsidiary of the German company Volkswagen Group, among many other prominent car brands like Porsche, Bentley and Lamborghini. Affected owners will be notified by April 25, 2025, according to the NHTSA. They are encouraged to take the vehicles to a dealership that will 'update the brake control unit software' at no charge to the vehicle owner. Volkswagen is advising dealers to 'schedule owner repairs immediately' and precautions diligence when driving the impacted vehicles. 'If the parking brake is not engaged, the red parking brake indicator light on the instrument cluster will not be illuminated,' Volkswagen said in its notice to dealers. 'Before leaving the vehicle, owners are advised to confirm the parking brake indicator light has illuminated in order to help avoid a situation where the vehicle could roll when it is not intended to do so.' The recall comes just weeks after nearly 30,000 Volkswagen and Audis were separately recalled for a faulty rear view camera display. Affected vehicles include 2024-2025 Audi Q3s, 2023 Volkswagen Arteons, and 2022-2024 Volkswagen Tiguans. Those impacted by vehicle recalls are able to contact the NHTS at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-888-275-9153) or visit This article was originally published on
