Volkswagen is recalling 20,904 units of the 2021 ID.4 electric vehicle due to a software defect in the high voltage battery management system. The software may cause the battery's control module to restart unexpectedly or the pulse inverter to shut down. To fix this, Volkswagen dealers will provide a free software update for both the battery management and pulse inverter control units.
If the battery control module resets or the pulse inverter deactivates while driving, the vehicle may experience a sudden loss of drive power. This loss of propulsion can occur without warning, significantly increasing the risk of a crash.
Software update for HV battery and pulse inverter control units.
