US EditionVolkswagen recalls nearly 100,000 EVs over battery issues
- Volkswagen is recalling nearly 100,000 electric vehicles due to battery modules that may not meet specifications, affecting vehicles produced between February 2022 and August 2024.
- Faulty modules can cause a "reduction in electric driving range" and, in rare cases, thermal overload leading to potential fire, though Volkswagen stated no personal injuries have been reported.
- Reuters reports the recall impacts roughly 75,000 Volkswagen vehicles and nearly 20,000 Cupra Borns, with the German motor vehicle authority KBA identifying the production window as February 2022 to August 2024.
- Customers will be contacted in the coming days to schedule service appointments where technicians will perform software updates and inspect high-voltage batteries, replacing modules if necessary.
- According to KBA, Germany hosts around 28,000 recalled vehicles, while Volkswagen Ireland estimates under 200 are affected locally, with the company awaiting final figures for Cupra Borns.
