Dear [Customer Name],
Recently, the software updates for your Volkswagen ID.4 offered under Service Action 97FY were put on hold. This was because Volkswagen discovered that additional software improvements were necessary in order to address important vehicle concerns.
Volkswagen has decided that a defect, which relates to motor vehicle safety, exists in certain 2021 model year Volkswagen ID.4 vehicles. We would like to let you know more about this upcoming recall, and what this means for your vehicle. To help keep you informed, you will receive future communications from Volkswagen about this recall.
About this Safety Recall:
The high voltage (HV) battery management control unit may reset or, in rare events, the pulse inverter may be deactivated while driving. If the HV battery management control unit resets while driving, the vehicle’s electric motor will not be supplied with power for the duration of the reset. This may lead to a loss of propulsion without warning, and may increase the risk of a crash.
Right now, this recall repair is not yet available.
Currently your dealer does not have the recall remedy available to perform the recall work. Volkswagen is working to make the recall repair available as quickly as possible. By March 31st, 2023, you will receive the official recall notification letter via first class mail. This recall notification letter will provide information of the next steps you can take to obtain this software update.

Section B – Repair Prerequisites
NOTE
Prior to launching the VAS Diagnostic Tester and starting an update, ensure the following conditions are met;
The ODIS software is completely up to date.
 Refer to the “Alerts” section on ServiceNet home page for the current ODIS version.
The battery charger is connected to the vehicle battery and remains connected for the duration of the software update.

CRITICAL REPAIR STEP
STOP!
Before replacing the 12V battery
There is a possibility that the 12V on-board electrical system will continue to be supplied with power by the HV battery and DC/DC converter if the brake pedal is not pressed. When the brake pedal is pressed, the contactors of the HV battery are opened.
Briefly press the brake pedal.
Wait two minutes before starting the 12V battery replacement.
Ensure the ignition is off before replacing the 12V battery.
• Unfortunately, in individual cases there is the possibility that in preparation for this campaign there may have been an above average storage of the 12V battery and, as a result, a sufficient charge level can no longer be ensured.
• Therefore, with sufficient time before starting an update, check the charge level of the battery to be fitted using no-load voltage measurement.
• If the voltage is greater than or equal to 12.5V, then the charge of the battery that took place during the USB update is sufficient.
• If the voltage is between 12.3V and 12.5V then the battery must be charged for at least 6 hours in advance. If the voltage is less than 12.3V, check the battery with a VW approved battery tester and proceed according to the specification of the tester.

Check Campaigns/Actions screen in ELSA on the day of repair to verify that a VIN qualifies for repair under this action. ELSA is the only valid campaign inquiry & verification source.
 Campaign status must show “open.”
 If ELSA shows other open action(s), inform your customer so that the work can also be completed at the same time the vehicle is in the workshop for this campaign.
Problem Description
The high voltage (HV) battery management control unit may reset or, in rare events, the pulse inverter may be deactivated while driving. If the HV battery management control unit resets while driving, the vehicle’s electric motor will not be supplied with power for the duration of the reset. This may lead to a loss of propulsion without warning, and may increase the risk of a crash.
Corrective Action
Update software for the HV battery management control unit and the pulse inverter control unit.
Additionally, certain vehicles included in this recall that were produced within a specific time period may also receive non-recall-related hardware and software improvements free of charge. These updates can include installing a more robust 12-volt battery, as well as software improvements and multiple security patches, as well as an updated version of the owner’s manual.
Precautions
If the recall condition described above occurs in the vehicle, the driver will receive an immediate warning in the instrument cluster. Customers experiencing this situation are advised to contact their authorized Volkswagen dealer without delay for an appointment to have the vehicle diagnosed.
As a reminder, the vehicle owner’s manual contains important information regarding the vehicle’s warning lights and messages. We encourage customers and anyone who drives the vehicle to review the owner’s manual to become familiar with the types of vehicle indicators, warnings and messaging they may see.

Customer Letter Example (USA)
This notice applies to your vehicle: ,
NHTSA: 23V040
Subject: Safety Recall 97ZZ – High Voltage (HV) Battery Management Control Module Software
Dear Volkswagen Owner,
This notice is sent to you in accordance with the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act. Volkswagen has decided that a defect, which relates to motor vehicle safety, exists in certain 2021 model year Volkswagen ID.4 vehicles. Our records show that you are the owner of a vehicle affected by this action.
What is the issue?
The high voltage (HV) battery management control unit may reset or the pulse inverter may be deactivated while driving. If the HV battery management control unit resets while driving, the vehicle’s electric motor will not be supplied with power for the duration of the reset. This may lead to a loss of propulsion without warning, increasing the risk of a crash.
What will we do?
To correct this defect, your authorized Volkswagen dealer will update software for the HV battery management control unit and the pulse inverter control unit. This work will take up to eleven (11) hours to complete and will be performed for you free of charge. Please keep in mind that your dealer may need additional time for the preparation of the repair, as well as to accommodate their daily workshop schedule.
Additionally, certain vehicles included in this recall that were produced within a specific time period may also receive non-recall-related hardware and software improvements free of charge. These updates can include installing a more robust 12-volt battery, as well as software improvements and multiple security patches, as well as an updated version of the owner’s manual.
What should you do?
Please contact your authorized Volkswagen dealer without delay to schedule this recall work. To set up an appointment online, please visit www.vw.com/find-a-dealer.
Important Note for Car-Net® Subscribers

CRITICAL REPAIR STEP
STOP!
Before replacing the 12V battery
There is a possibility that the 12V on-board electrical system will continue to be supplied with power by the HV battery and DC/DC converter if the brake pedal is not pressed. When the brake pedal is pressed, the contactors of the HV battery are opened.
Briefly press the brake pedal.
Wait two minutes before starting the 12V battery replacement.
Ensure the ignition is off before replacing the 12V battery.
• Unfortunately, in individual cases there is the possibility that in preparation for this campaign there may have been an above average storage of the 12V battery and, as a result, a sufficient charge level can no longer be ensured.
• Therefore, with sufficient time before starting an update, check the charge level of the battery to be fitted using no-load voltage measurement.
• If the voltage is greater than or equal to 12.5V, then the charge of the battery that took place during the USB update is sufficient.
• If the voltage is between 12.3V and 12.5V then the battery must be charged for at least 6 hours in advance. If the voltage is less than 12.3V, check the battery with a VW approved battery tester and proceed according to the specification of the tester.

Check Campaigns/Actions screen in ELSA on the day of repair to verify that a VIN qualifies for repair under this action. ELSA is the only valid campaign inquiry & verification source.
 Campaign status must show “open.”
 If ELSA shows other open action(s), inform your customer so that the work can also be completed at the same time the vehicle is in the workshop for this campaign.
Problem Description
The high voltage (HV) battery management control unit may reset or, in rare events, the pulse inverter may be deactivated while driving. If the HV battery management control unit resets while driving, the vehicle’s electric motor will not be supplied with power for the duration of the reset. This may lead to a loss of propulsion without warning, and may increase the risk of a crash.
Corrective Action
Update software for the HV battery management control unit and the pulse inverter control unit.
Additionally, certain vehicles included in this recall that were produced within a specific time period may also receive non-recall-related hardware and software improvements free of charge. These updates can include installing a more robust 12-volt battery, as well as software improvements and multiple security patches, as well as an updated version of the owner’s manual.
Precautions
If the recall condition described above occurs in the vehicle, the driver will receive an immediate warning in the instrument cluster. Customers experiencing this situation are advised to contact their authorized Volkswagen dealer without delay for an appointment to have the vehicle diagnosed.
As a reminder, the vehicle owner’s manual contains important information regarding the vehicle’s warning lights and messages. We encourage customers and anyone who drives the vehicle to review the owner’s manual to become familiar with the types of vehicle indicators, warnings and messaging they may see.
Code Visibility
On February 06, 2023, the campaign code was applied to affected vehicles.
Owner Notification
Owner notification will take place in March 2023. Owner letter examples are included in this bulletin for your reference.
Additional Information

Esto podría dar lugar a una pérdida de propulsión sin previo aviso, lo que aumenta el riesgo de sufrir un choque.
¿Qué haremos? Para poder corregir este defecto, su concesionario Volkswagen autorizado actualizará el software de la unidad de control de administración de la batería de alta tensión y la unidad de control del convertidor de impulso. Este servicio demorará hasta once (11) horas y se le ofrecerá de forma gratuita. No obstante, considere la posibilidad de que su concesionario necesite tiempo adicional para la preparación del servicio y la organización del horario del taller.
Además, es posible que determinados vehículos incluidos en esta campaña de llamada a revisión que se fabricaron en un periodo de tiempo específico reciban mejoras de hardware y software que no están relacionadas con la campaña de forma gratuita. Estas actualizaciones pueden incluir la instalación de una batería más resistente de 12 voltios, mejoras en el software y varios parches de seguridad y una versión actualizada del manual del propietario.
¿Qué debe hacer? Comuníquese con su concesionario Volkswagen autorizado de inmediato para programar este servicio de revisión. Para concertar una cita en línea, visite www.vw.com/find-a-dealer. 97ZZ USA 97ZZ USA

Verificación de su vehículo para campañas de llamada a revisión y de servicio vigentes Si su vehículo actualmente está inscripto en Car-Net y tiene la aplicación de Car-Net descargada en su teléfono u otro dispositivo móvil, es posible que reciba varias notificaciones durante el proceso de actualización a medida que el concesionario realiza este servicio de revisión.
