Volkswagen says may have to recall 124,000 electric cars
July 31, 2018
 

Volkswagen on Tuesday said it may be forced to recall 124,000 electric and hybrid cars due to the presence of cadmium, a carcinogenic metal, in the vehicles.

"Clarification is under way for a recall order by Germany's Federal Motor Transport Authority," said a spokesman for the group, confirming a report in weekly Wirtschaftswoche.

You don’t become cooler with age but you do care progressively less about being cool, which is the only true way to actually be cool.
