Volkswagen takes the deliveries of the electrical ID.buzz in the USA back on. The vehicles had been adjusted accordingly and could be handed over to the customers again after the recall, said a spokesman on Tuesday and thus confirmed a report by the magazine “Focus”.
The US supervisory authority had criticized a too wide back seat in the vehicle. As a result, three people could sit on two seats, which is a security risk.
The recall was not the first recall for the Bulli, which is less than a year on the US market. In April the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration pointed out that the ID. Buzz the international brake warning sign in yellow and not the word “brake” (“brake”) in red capital letters showed how it is prescribed in the USA.
In addition to the construction errors, the punitive tariffs introduced in April were also a reason for the delivery stop, the “Handelsblatt” reported, citing insiders. Since then, 27.5 percent import taxes have been raised to new cars built in Europe – previously it was 2.5 percent. Volkswagen produces the ID.Buzz for the world market in his work in Hanover-Stöcken.
