How serious is the high-voltage battery fastener problem in 2021-2023 VW ID.4 models, and what does repair involve?
No ID.4 was built for 2019 or 2020; the HV battery terminal fastener recall 23V472 applies to 2021-2023 models, including GTX variants. The loose fasteners can increase resistance, trigger an 'electrical system' warning, cause loss of drive power, and in severe cases lead to overheating and fire. Dealers perform the fix for free; if out of warranty, independent battery service is about $400 to $1,200.
Estimated repair cost: $800.00
