If it puts people's minds at ease the recall numbers are incorrect on that article and of the ones we've had in so far across VWPC, CV and Cupra none of them have needed any battery work.

But out of how many ?.

Lots, these campaigns are nothing new and the battery checks have been going on for a long time prior to the publication of the likes of that article.

Have there been issues resulting in the recall being produced? - yes

Was it a large number of vehicles? - no

Are VWG being diligent and checking vehicles before a problem arises? - 100%

It's like the steering column bolt recall that's been circulated recently, it looked dreadful on paper but there's less than 100 vehicles affected globally.

That's good to know. How long on average is it until the car gets checked out and the 80% block removed if you are in the affected batches?

Once you visit a dealer, the checks are performed and the battery is declared as ok, you can sometimes lift the charge percentage immediately but sometimes it can take a while to register on the backend.
