Why This Matters
Failure to display the correct gear position can have serious safety implications. If the driver is unaware of the transmission's actual gear and the parking brake is not engaged, the vehicle could roll away unexpectedly. This significantly increases the risk of a crash or injury.

Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. is recalling certain 2021-2023 ID.4, 2022-2023 Audi Q4 e-Tron, and Q4 e-Tron Sportback vehicles.
