Volkswagen expanded its recall to nearly 100,000 ID.4 EVs globally due to battery defects from supplier SK On that cause reduced range and increase fire risk, according to WardsAuto. The expanded recall goes beyond the initial 44,000 U.S. vehicles previously reported and reflects ongoing manufacturing quality issues with the battery cells.
Operator takeaway
The VW ID.4 recall keeps growing. Nearly 100,000 vehicles globally now have documented battery defects. If an ID.4 arrives at your lot, check its recall status before storing it near other vehicles or buildings.
