Volkswagen will recall thousands of electric vehicles in Germany due to defective high-voltage battery cells that risk thermal stress and potential fires. The recall affects ID-series models and the Cupra Born produced between 2023 and 2025, with processes already underway in the UK and US.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Electric Vehicles.
