Each campaign in detail

Modules de la batterie haute tension : rappel constructeur
Manufacturer recall
Volkswagen a rappelé environ 75 000 véhicules de la gamme ID (ID.3, ID.4, ID.5, ID. Buzz) dont certains modules de batterie haute tension s'écartent des spécifications. Selon Mac4Ever, les voitures concernées ont été assemblées entre juin 2023 et août 2024 ; Caroom indique février 2022 à août 2024. Effets possibles : baisse d'autonomie, voyant d'alerte et, selon la base des autorités allemandes, risque d'incendie ; aucun incident n'avait été signalé. La correction est une mise à jour logicielle et une inspection en atelier, avec remplacement des modules si besoin. Vérifiez avec le numéro de série que l'intervention a été faite.
Fixed free of charge by a dealer and not counted in the reliability score: ask for proof the work was done (invoice, or a VIN check at a dealer).
