Recalls

Good news: Recall repairs are almost always free. Book with any manufacturer dealer and quote the recall number. Transport Canada’s own wording is that a manufacturer “will almost always make these repairs free of charge”, so being asked to pay for recall work is unusual and worth questioning. Since 2018 the Minister of Transport can order a company to pay for repairs so owners do not bear the cost.

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the cells inside the high-voltage battery module(s) may not have been manufactured properly. As a result, the battery could overheat.

Why it matters

A battery that overheats can create a fire risk.

What the dealer will do

Volkswagen will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to inspect the high-voltage battery. The dealer will update the self-discharge detection (SDD) software and, if necessary, replace high-voltage battery module(s).

What does it cost to run a 2025 Volkswagen ID.4 for a year?
At 16,249 km a year and Ontario average prices, about $462 in electricity, producing roughly 111 kg of CO2. Ontario is time-of-use, so charging is billed at whichever rate applies when you plug in — the real cost is usually higher than this average. Your own distance and prices will change this — the calculator lets you set both.

Source: Transport Canada — Vehicle Recalls Database; NRCan — Fuel consumption ratings. Data current as of 6 August 2026. Running cost uses Ontario average prices (155 ¢/L, 14.5 ¢/kWh), which are hand-maintained estimates. These are average residential rates. A car’s charging is added on top of what your home already uses, so on a tiered, time-of-use or subsidised tariff it is billed at your top rate rather than this average — which makes the real cost higher, especially in the territories.
