The Volkswagen Group is recalling approximately 100,000 electric vehicles in Europe due to a high-voltage battery defect affecting the ID. range and the Cupra Born, including several thousand units produced between February 2022 and June 2025 in France. This recall covers several European markets and raises questions about how owners will be supported. In Germany, courts are reviewing a request to cancel the sale of a Cupra Born, with the debate focusing on the right to a refund or replacement following defective batteries. In France, coverage places greater emphasis on the recall itself and the volume of affected vehicles.
