The Basics: Volkswagen is recalling 5,561 examples of the 2015-2016 e-Golf that have production dates between May 21, 2014, and March 1, 2016.

The Problem: According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, "oversensitive diagnostics for the high-voltage battery management system may falsely detect an electrical surge resulting in the vehicle's electric drive motor shutting down unexpectedly."

Injuries/Deaths: None reported.

The Fix: The company will update the battery management software.

If you own one: VW began the recall on March 15.
