Volkswagen is recalling nearly 100,000 electric vehicles, of which some 28,000 are in Germany, ‌citing problems ⁠linked ⁠to battery modules, according to the German motor vehicle authority KBA.

The recall notices affect nearly 75,000 vehicles from Volkswagen’s ID. series as well as nearly 20,000 Cupra ⁠Borns that were ‌rolled off the line between February 2022 and ⁠August 2024.

According to the notices issued earlier this month, modules in the high-voltage battery that do not meet specifications can result in reduced range, and there is a risk of ‌fire.

A software update will be run on the vehicles brought in, the ⁠high voltage battery will be inspected and if needed, individual modules of the battery will be replaced, the notices said.

Germany’s Focus news outlet first reported the recalls.
