Volkswagen plans a temporary charging cap for 22,524 US model-year 2023–2026 ID.4 vehicles recalled over battery-fire risk. An owner-app notice says vehicles will be limited to 80% around October 27 unless owners opt out by October 21. The affected vehicles were built in Chattanooga and use specific SK battery cells; the measure does not automatically cover every ID.4 or vehicles sold in Korea. The precise cause and permanent remedy had not been finalized at reporting time. The ability to remove the limit does not guarantee safety, so owners should check their vehicle’s recall status and official guidance.

Affected US owners should check app notices and VINs; the charging limit is temporary risk reduction, not a permanent repair.
