In some cases, a software problem could cause the instrument cluster and centre touchscreen to reset or stop working altogether. As a result, drivers may not be able to see specific information about the vehicle, including the speedometer and certain warning lights and/or messages.
According to the recall notice posted today, it’s also possible the rear-view camera image may not display when the transmission is shifted into reverse, increasing the risk of a collision.
As so often happens, the remedy is nothing more than a software update performed by a dealer. Affected owners will be notified by mail in the next few weeks.
To be clear, this recall doesn’t include the 2024 Volkswagen ID.4, which benefits from a number of technical enhancements. Click on the link to read our full review.
