The best-selling Volkswagen electric car turned out to be unsafe: the company recalls more than 44 000 ID. 4 due to fire risk.

The cause is cited as potential issues with the high‑voltage battery system that could lead to overheating and battery fire. Owners are advised to limit charging to 80%, avoid fast DC charging, and park the vehicle outdoors after charging. Volkswagen plans to replace defective modules free of charge.
