Mass convenor of the VW concern. It will call 100,000 cars worldwide, and plug-in hybrids also have a problem

Volkswagen will call over 100,000 plug-in hybrid cars worldwide due to the risk of fire in the engine area. The event will affect VW, Audi, Seat and Škoda cars.


According to Reuters, a spokesman for the German car manufacturer confirmed the information, which was first brought to its website by the German daily Bild. Vehicles that combine a conventional internal combustion engine with an electric drive and charge via a socket are at risk of fire due to an insufficiently insulated high-voltage battery, the spokesman said. In Germany alone, according to the Federal Office for Motor Vehicles (KBA), there have already been 16 cases where this is exactly the situation.

In Germany, the carmaker will call for 40,000 cars. Among them will be, among others, models such as the Audi Q3, Škoda Octavia and VW Golf, says Bild.
