The companies will have to withdraw 5637 cars in the United States, as well as suspend sales of ID.Buzz stored in warehouses, writes CARSCOOPS. The reason is unusual – too wide chairs of the third row. The National Road Safety Directorate (NHTSA) came to the conclusion that they do not comply with federal security standards.
NHTSA said that the third row of Volkswagen Id.Buzzz seats is too wide. Although the seats are formally two, like belts of safety, three people can fit there. Thus, passengers are poorly protected from injuries in the event of a collision, the regulator concluded.
However, Volkswagen is not going to equip the recalled electric cars with the third seat belt. Instead, he will install some “fixed parts to limit the surface of the seat”, which will make the rear row closer. How far it is still unknown.

At the same time, the German brand will have to stop ID.Buzz sales in the United States. Unproveted Vans will be stored in dealerships until Volkswagen finds a universal solution – perhaps more successful than the stitches width.
Previously, Volkswagen revealed a new strategy: instead of collecting cars “in China for China”, it will produce in the Middle Kingdom for the whole world. Top managers assure that the products of one of the local joint ventures, SAIC-Volkswagen, will comply with world quality standards.
