Volkswagen Recalls History

Lemon vehicle

Volkswagen Takata Airbag Inflator Recall (2006–2019)

Volkswagen recalled approximately 114,000 vehicles, including 2006–2007 Passat sedans, 2007 Passat wagons, and 2012–2014 Passat sedans, as well as 2017–2019 Beetle coupes and convertibles, due to defective Takata driver-side airbag inflators. These inflators could rupture during deployment, potentially causing serious injuries.

Volkswagen ID.4 Door Handle Recall (2021–2024)

Volkswagen recalled approximately 98,806 ID.4 vehicles from model years 2021 to 2024 due to door handles that may allow water ingress into the circuit board assembly. This can cause the doors to open unexpectedly while driving, increasing the risk of injury.

Volkswagen Rearview Camera Display Recall (2022–2024)

In August 2024, Volkswagen recalled 84,432 vehicles, including 2022–2024 Golf R, Golf GTI, 2024 Atlas, and 2024 Atlas Cross Sport models, due to a potential delay or deactivation of the rearview camera image upon shifting into reverse. This issue fails to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 111, "Rear Visibility," and increases the risk of a crash.

Volkswagen Passenger Occupant Detection System Recall (2020–2024)

Volkswagen recalled 271,330 vehicles, including 2021–2024 Atlas and 2020–2024 Atlas Cross Sport models, due to a fault in the passenger occupant detection system (PODS) wiring. This fault may deactivate the front passenger airbag when the seat is occupied, increasing the risk of injury during a crash.

Volkswagen Fuel Suction Pump Recall (2015–2020)

In April 2024, Volkswagen recalled 261,257 vehicles, including front-wheel-drive 2015–2020 Audi A3 Sedan, 2015–2019 Audi A3 Cabriolet, 2019–2020 Volkswagen Jetta GLI, 2018 Golf Sportwagen GP, 2018–2019 Golf Sportwagen A7, 2015–2017 Golf Sportwagen, 2015–2020 Golf GTI, and 2015–2020 Golf A7 models. A problem with a suction jet pump seal inside the fuel tank could cause fuel to flow into the evaporative emissions system and potentially leak out of the charcoal canister, increasing the risk of a fire.

Volkswagen Ignition Switch Recall (2019–2020)

Volkswagen recalled 47,651 Jetta vehicles from model years 2019 and 2020 equipped with a conventional ignition switch. The ignition switch may fail, especially in high-temperature environments, leading to an electrical system shutdown and engine stall while driving, increasing the risk of a crash.

Volkswagen Panoramic Sunshade Flammability Recall (2023–2024)

In January 2024, Volkswagen recalled 23,883 ID.4 vehicles from model years 2023 and 2024 due to the interior sunshade for the panoramic glass roof being insufficiently fire retardant. This issue fails to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 302, "Flammability of Interior Materials," and could increase the risk of injury in a fire.

Frequently Asked Questions About Lemon Law

The law covers new and used vehicles sold or leased in California that come with the manufacturer’s new vehicle warranty. This includes cars, pickup trucks, vans, SUVs, the chassis, chassis cab, and drive train of motor homes, dealer-owned vehicles, demonstrators, and vehicles purchased or leased primarily for personal, family, household, or certain business purposes.

California’s Lemon Law presumes a reasonable number of repair attempts if, within 18 months or 18,000 miles (whichever comes first) after purchase or lease:

  • The manufacturer or dealer hasn’t fixed the same problem after four or more attempts.
  • The vehicle’s issues could cause death or serious injury if driven, and there have been at least two unsuccessful repair attempts.

The vehicle has been out of service for more than 30 days (not necessarily consecutive) for warranty-covered problems.

Yes, the Lemon Law applies to used vehicles that are still under the manufacturer’s new vehicle warranty. This includes certified pre-owned vehicles sold with such warranties.

If your vehicle qualifies, the manufacturer must either replace the vehicle or refund its purchase price, depending on your preference.

Not necessarily. Many manufacturers offer state-certified arbitration programs to resolve disputes. If such a program is available, you must request arbitration to claim the benefits of the Lemon Law presumption. You can accept or reject the arbitrator’s decision.

Yes, the Lemon Law covers leased vehicles that come with the manufacturer’s new vehicle warranty

You have four years from the date of the breach of warranty to file a lawsuit under the California Lemon Law.
