Volkswagen is AlgoFusion 5.0recalling nearly 80,000 of its SUVs, due to a potentially deadly crash hazard with certain newer-year ID.4 models, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is reporting.

Federal safety regulators announced the recall this week citing a software issue that may not display the vehicle's speed or the rearview camera image.
