Volkswagen will remotely restrict charging of certain ID 4 models to 80% to reduce fire risk, addressing a recent recall. Owners are advised to review their manuals for proper charging procedures until the update is applied. The automaker will push an over-the-air update to manage charging caps, allowing manual override if preferred. Recalled vehicles were identified through production records and charging data, targeting those with suspect batteries. Drivers should monitor for notifications from VW about the upcoming update to their ID 4.
