Park outside

The high voltage battery may fail internally and lead to a vehicle fire while parked or driving. A vehicle fire can increase the risk of injury.

Fix: Owners are advised to park outside and away from structures and not to charge their vehicles until the remedy is completed. Dealers will update the high voltage battery software, and replace the high voltage battery, as necessary, free of charge.

Instrument panel cluster can short and fail

Crash risk

The instrument cluster can develop an internal short circuit and stop working, so the speedometer and warning lights may not display. Without that information, the risk of a crash goes up.

Fix: Dealers will replace the instrument panel cluster at no charge.
