Yamaha Passol EA06 2002–2003

Hazard

In the drive battery for the traction motor, the structure of the device that manages the battery's voltage and condition is inadequate, allowing conductive foreign objects to enter the device and adhere to the circuit board. This can cause partial short-circuiting of the board's electrical circuit, resulting in heat generation, and in the worst case, risk of fire.
