Volkswagen's EV recall has expanded to include over 9,000 Audi Q4 E-Tron and Q4 Sportback E-Tron vehicles, with owners advised to limit charging to 80% to reduce battery fire risk. The recall follows a similar earlier recall of 22,524 Volkswagen ID.4 electric SUVs due to thermal propagation concerns when charged beyond 80%.
