10,000 Volkswagen ID.3 And ID.4 Have Potential Battery Defect via insideevs.com
According to a recent report, the electric vehicles' battery cells could have a manufacturing defect that causes them to"show an increased self-discharge." Volkswagen first learned of the potential battery concern from EV rental car company NextMove, which is based out of Germany. The automaker credited the rental car company in its official communications to its dealer network.
Electrive.com shared that it has received confirmation from Volkswagen that there's already a"service measure" related to the possible battery issue. It explains that some 10,130 Volkswagen ID.3 and ID.4 vehicles that were produced in 2020 have potentially defective battery modules. VW's dealers will be reaching out to make impacted owners aware of the battery concerns and encourage them to make an appointment. If there is a problem with the battery modules, they will be replaced free of charge.
It's important to note that the affected vehicles were specifically identified based on dealer diagnostic data from customers' prior visits. That said, if you aren't contacted, your vehicle isn't likely part of the recall. Moreover, if you are contacted, you should prioritize getting the EV fixed as soon as possible.
