What the authority reported
The electronic control unit of the motor generator of the plug-in-hybrid system may not correctly complete the motor initialization process, which can make the high-speed motor control mode unavailable. At higher speeds, this may cause the plug-in-hybrid system to enter fail-safe mode or shut down, resulting in a loss of motive power and increasing the risk of an accident. The product does not comply with the Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of Motor Vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles.
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.
