Volkswagen EV recall details

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) stated that Volkswagen is recalling 98,806 electric SUVs to address issues with their door handles.

The NHTSA noted that the door handles in these vehicles may not have been produced according to “factory specifications.”

According to Reuters, moisture may enter the printed circuit board located in the doors, leading to operational failures and potentially causing the door locks to unlock.
