Volkswagen calls nearly 72,700 electric cars back worldwide. In Germany, 10,000 cars are part of this. In Austria, about 850 cars are part of this.
The batteries in the cars can be bad. Bad parts can get very hot. In the worst case, the car can burn.
Cars like ID.3 and ID.4 are part of this. Also ID.7 and ID. Buzz are part of this. Cupra Born is also part of this.
The cars are built between 2022 and 2025. A helper company makes mistakes during the build. VW sees this during tests.
Owners shall charge their car only to 80 percent. This is a fast help. VW sends letters to the owners.
In the garage, experts test the batteries. Sometimes a new computer program helps. Sometimes VW changes parts.
Until now, no person is hurt by this mistake. This is not the first call back this year. In September, problems with steering parts happen.
