What is the risk?
- Due to incorrect software calibration, the lithium-ion battery controller may not reliably detect battery cell anomalies. It may incorrectly identify faults because of electrical interference or fluctuations in circuit resistance. As a result, the system may switch to fail-safe mode while the vehicle is being driven, limiting engine power and preventing charging. Under certain conditions, this could turn off the main relay and cause a loss of propulsion, meaning the vehicle may come to a stop while in motion, 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.
