What the authority reported

Due to insufficient detection capability in the Battery Management System, micro-shorts between battery cells may remain undetected. Undetected micro-shorts could cause the cells to overheat and lead to a fire while the vehicle is parked or charging.

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.
