Overview
- The recall, which Germany’s KBA registered Tuesday, covers 74,579 VW MEB models and 19,452 Cupra Born cars worldwide.
- Modules in the high‑voltage battery can fall out of spec, which may cut range and light a yellow warning icon, and in rare cases raise a fire risk; no injuries or property damage have been reported.
- Dealers will install a software update and check the battery modules, with targeted module swaps if they deviate from specs; owners will be notified and should book an authorized workshop visit.
- The action spans vehicles built at Zwickau and Hannover, with VW models produced from June 24, 2023 to August 23, 2024 and the Cupra Born from February 7, 2022 to April 21, 2024.
- Coverage notes unanswered questions on why model build windows differ and why related Audi models are not listed, while VW confirms the cells were sourced externally and the modules were assembled in‑house.
