Approximately 43,881 automobiles form part of the recall, with the notice citing an issue with the HV battery, specifically within the battery cell modules. A "shifted" electrode condition appeared to be the cause of recurring "thermal events." According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the high-voltage battery may overheat, increasing the risk of a fire.
Another 670 ID.4 vehicles from model years 2023-2024 were also recalled for posing a similar risk to consumers after an investigation from the German automobile manufacturer uncovered misaligned electrodes, Reuters reported. Here's what to know about the recall, including additional details about the affected vehicle models.
All of the Volkswagen ID.4 vehicles that form part of the recall were also fully assembled and ready for sale between Sept. 2, 2022 and April 10, 2025. According to the recall notice, vehicles included in the recall have no Self-Discharge Detection (SDD) software. Customers with concerns are advised to have the vehicle diagnosed by an authorized Volkswagen dealer.
