The OEM was able to reopen sales for the vehicle after it received the parts needed to both sell new ID.4s and make repairs to current owners' vehicles, according to a news release.
Affected vehicles include the 2021-2024 model year ID.4, Automotive Fleetpreviously reported.
Assembly of the ID.4 in Chattanooga, Tennessee, is set to resume in the coming weeks, with the aim of re-instating the ID.4 to its prior position as one of the best-selling electric vehicles in the U.S. and Canada.
To celebrate the cars coming back onto the market, Volkswagen will be making what it calls highly competitive lease offers on ID.4s.
