Why it was recalled
According to the RAPEX notice, the identified hazard is: An electrical overload in the 48Volt (V) electrical system may cause a failure of the Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor (MOSFET). This may cause an electrical cascade failure, causing the DCDC convertor to experience an electrical short where the 12V circuit shorts to ground. As a result, smoke from the DCDC converter can be vented into the passenger compartment, and where sufficient oxygen exists, a sustained vehicle fire may occur.
This Serious risk recall concerns Motor vehicles products distributed in United Kingdom and was recorded by RAPEX. Recalls in this category are published so that owners, retailers, and importers can identify affected units and act quickly.
