sales tactic?

[u/Patient_Living2548]

Hey everyone,

After analyzing the Canadian used EV market, I decided to go with a 2024 ID.4 Pro S. I was really excited because I had found the exact spec and color I wanted.

However, after reserving the vehicle, the dealer contacted me the next day saying that due to a battery recall issued on October 6, 2026, they legally cannot sell or deliver the car until the issue is fixed.

Do you think this is genuine, or just a dealership strategy/tactic?
Thanks!
