93MF High voltage battery safety recall

We are preparing for a recall for safety reasons on a number of vehicles equipped with a specific type of high-voltage battery. 

For ID. Buzz and ID. Buzz Cargo vehicles with high-voltage batteries that were produced by a specific supplier between 2022 and 2025, there is a requirement to carry out checks to ensure that the components in the battery meet our high-quality standards.

When the battery is charged to over 80%, overheating may occur, posing a fire risk. 

For safety reasons, the factory is temporarily limiting affected vehicles’ maximum available charging capacity to 80%. This process started w/c 12th October 2026. 

Please note, it is good practice in all cases to activate Battery Care Mode, in which charging is restricted to 80%.  You can do this yourself via the App or the vehicle’s infotainment centre.

Alternatively, instructions on how to do this can be found in the short video here - Electric Battery Maintenance and Warranty | Volkswagen UKOpens an external link

If your vehicle is affected by this recall, you will receive a letter from us in due course to advise you of next steps; these may include a visit to a Volkswagen Van Centre to allow us to inspect your vehicle.
