Volkswagen Caps Charging at 80% via OTA Update in Response to ID.4 Fire Recall

Volkswagen is pushing an over-the-air software update to limit the maximum state of charge to 80% on select ID.4 electric crossovers. The measure serves as an interim safeguard while the automaker addresses a recall linked to battery fire risks. Impacted owners will receive hardware inspections and cell module replacements at dealerships once permanent remedies are ready.
