The problem

The high-voltage battery may not meet specifications. If a cell module is not screwed tight enough, the connection could be loosened by vibrations while in motion. The electrical resistance of the connection could increase and the temperature could rise in this area, creating a risk of fire.

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.
