Volkswagen (VW) has initiated a voluntary recall campaign with the manufacturer code 44T3 for a specific batch of VW ID. BUZZ vehicles. The recall affects a total of 231 vehicles worldwide, with an estimated 45 vehicles potentially affected in Germany. The affected vehicles were manufactured in 2022.
The recall campaign is being closely monitored by the Kraftfahrt-Bundesamt (KBA), the German Federal Motor Transport Authority, to ensure the necessary corrective actions are taken promptly. VW is taking this proactive step to address a manufacturing defect at the tire supplier, which could lead to a sudden loss of air in the tires.
The affected vehicle versions include the VW ID. BUZZ PRO 150 KW and ID. BUZZ CARGO 150KW models. Owners of these vehicles are advised to bring their vehicles in for a tire inspection to identify any potential issues. If necessary, the manufacturer will replace the tires to rectify the problem.
To date, no incidents of property damage or personal injury resulting from the tire defect have been reported. However, VW is taking this precautionary measure to ensure the safety and reliability of their vehicles.
Owners of the affected VW ID. BUZZ vehicles are encouraged to contact the VW helpline at 08008655792436 for further information and to schedule an appointment for the inspection and, if required, tire replacement. The helpline is available to provide support and answer any questions related to the recall campaign.
ID. Buzz owners are advised to stay informed about any updates or developments regarding the recall campaign through official channels, such as the VW website or authorized VW dealerships.
