Why it was recalled
According to the RAPEX notice, the identified hazard is: The screw connection of the 48 V ground connector of the coolant electric compressor may come loose and lead to improper attachment of the ground line cable head. This increases the electrical contact resistance and can cause the temperature at the connection point to increase, increasing the risk of fire.
