What the authority reported

Due to a manufacturing defect, the internal battery separator can become damaged over time by repeated charging and discharging cycles of the cells. This can cause the high voltage battery cells to develop an internal short circuit. This creates a risk of the vehicle catching fire. Moreover, the short circuit can cause a loss of propulsion power, increasing the risk of accidents and injuries.

What to do

Follow the instructions in the official notice — recall remedies (refund, repair, replacement, or disposal) are defined by the issuing authority and the responsible business, and they differ per recall. Do not rely on summaries, including this one.
