What's wrong: The high-voltage battery cell modules May not have been assembled properly, resulting in stress on the module frame and possible module failure.
Why it matters: Battery module failure May lead to a shutdown of the high-voltage system which can result in a loss of drive power, increasing the risk of a crash. In addition, module failure increases the risk of a fire.
The fix: Dealers will replace specific high-voltage battery cell modules, free of charge. Interim owner notification letters explaining the safety risk were mailed September 11, 2025. Another notice will be sent once the remedy becomes available, anticipated December 31, 2025
