Volkswagen T7 eHybrid (2021 – 2022)

EV/Hybrid fire

The amount of extinguished sand in the fuse of the high-voltage system is not sufficient in the event of a short circuit to the high-voltage safety system. This may cause it to burst, increasing the risk of injuries. Furthermore, the blown fuse can interrupt the electrical flow of current leading to a voltage drop inside the vehicle, increasing the risk of fire.

The Volkswagen T7 eHybrid vehicles affected by this recall were manufactured until 22 February 2022.
