Reported risk: Specific transistors in the boost converter of the Intelligent Power Module (IPM) can be damaged by the high thermal stress caused by repeated driving under certain high-load driving patterns (e.g. from a stop, applying nearly full throttle and then gradually further accelerating to full throttle). This may cause the hybrid system to be shut down without entering a failsafe mode. As a result the vehicle may lose motive power while driving at higher speeds, increasing the risk of an accident.
