Recall 25V-269: Seats

Reported May 15, 2025 · 5,644 vehicles affected · Volkswagen Group of America, Inc.

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

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.

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.

Back Over Prevention · reported Sep 11, 2026

Twice now, my center touch screen display has failed to operate upon startup. Restarting the vehicle does not fix the problem.The problem is not able to be replicated for the dealer as it happens at random(twice over 13,000 miles). No warnings predicated the error, nor would they be displayable since the screen is off. The vehicle is able to be driven under the error.

The voice assistant does not function under the error(a potential alternative method of accessing the controls that are lost when the screen is in…

First visit: dropped off April 17, 2026, picked up April 18, 2026 -- update failed. Second visit: dropped off April 20, 2026 and the vehicle remains at the dealer as of today, April 28…
