- The Volkswagen ID.4 was recalled over a fire risk stemming from the car's high-voltage battery.
- VW says that the cause is still unknown.
- Owners are being asked not to charge above 80%—and unless they opt-out by next week, VW will automatically limit their cars.
Volkswagen has an ongoing problem with the battery pack in certain ID.4 EVs carrying the risk of catching on fire. It doesn't yet know what exactly the problem is, nor does it have a permanent fix. It does, however, know something important—it's less likely to happen when the battery is below 80%.
