Hazard

In modules within the high-voltage battery pack, the manufacturing process for electrode plates used in cells was improper, resulting in some modules with electrode plate debris adhered to them from the process. Consequently, repeated battery charging can cause internal short circuits in the module, potentially triggering a battery malfunction warning. In the worst case, the battery may overheat abnormally, risking fire.

高電圧バッテリパック内のモジュールにおいて、セルに使用される電極板の製造工程が不適切なため、工程内で発生した電極板の破片が付着したものがある。そのため、バッテリの充電の繰り返しにより、モジュール内部で短絡が発生し、バッテリ異常の警告が表示される場合があり、最悪の場合、バッテリが異常発熱し、火災に至るおそれがある。

Remedy

Replace the battery pack or module in all vehicles with non-defective units. Until parts are available, the vehicle will be held in custody, and parts will be replaced as soon as they become available.
