What is this? This is about some Volkswagen ID. Buzz electric vans. A small number of them have tyres that may not be made correctly.

What's happening? These tyres could suddenly lose air while driving. If that happens, the van might become hard to control and you could crash.

Does this affect me? Only if you own or drive one of these vans in Germany, Ireland, the Netherlands, Norway or Sweden.

What should I do? Stop using the van and call your nearest Volkswagen dealer right away. Ask your pharmacist or doctor if you feel unwell after an accident.
