2025 Volkswagen Id. Buzz recalls

Seats: mid/rear assembly

NHTSA campaign 25V269000 · reported May 15, 2025 · Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. · 5,644 vehicles potentially affected

The problem: Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. (Volkswagen) is recalling certain 2025 ID. BUZZ vehicles.

The risk: In the event that more than two passengers sit in the rear bench seat, there would not be enough seat belts, increasing the risk of injury during a crash.
The fix: Dealers will install trim to adjust the width of the third-row rear seats, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed June 20, 2025. Owners may contact Volkswagen customer service at 1-800-893-5298. Volkswagen's number for this recall is 72LC.
