Volkswagen recalled 670 2023-2024 ID.4 SUVs due to misaligned electrodes in battery cells. In certain cases, this can lead to a fire. A quality deviation at the supplier was identified to be the cause.
Customers should be on the lookout for a loss of range and/or performance. Customers with vehicle concerns should visit a Volkswagen dealer to have their vehicle diagnosed.
Volkswagen will replace the battery cell modules at no cost. Until the repairs are made, customers should do the following:
- Set the vehicle’s high-voltage battery system to 80% charge limitation
- Avoid using Level 3 DC chargers
- Park vehicles outdoors immediately after charging
- Do not leave vehicles charging indoors overnight
