2021–2023 Audi Q4 E-tron, Audi Q4 Sportback E-tron, Volkswagen ID.4: Power Train recall

What's wrong

Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. (Volkswagen) is recalling certain 2021-2023 ID.4, 2022-2023 Audi Q4 e-Tron, and Q4 e-Tron Sportback vehicles. The instrument panel may not properly display the transmission gear lever indicator. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 102, "Transmission Shift Lever Sequence, Starter Interlock, and Transmission Braking Effect."

Why it matters

Failure to display the gear position may result in a vehicle rollaway if the parking brake is not engaged, increasing the risk of a crash.

Dealers will update the brake control unit software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed March 14, 2025.
