The problem

The electrical voltage stability of the high-voltage battery pack (CB400) may not be sufficiently stable due to the presence of a metal foreign body. Repeated surge events during charging could potentially damage affected batteries, posing 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.
