Concern

Short circuit may occur

Defect, as DVSA words it

Although highly unlikely it is possible that the wiring harness for the 12V auxiliary battery could as a result of incorrect routing chaff on the carbon fibre armature of the vehicle. If this condition exists and is not addressed it could in time result in a short circuit and electrical arching which could cause a fire. The high voltage main battery pack and associated wiring is not affected in any way and the issue poses no threat to the electrical system that powers the vehicle.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Recall all affected vehicles to check the wiring and install a protective sleeve as an additional precautionary measure.

What changed since we first read it

Nothing yet. The wording has been the same on every read since 4 September 2026. The file is read again every day; if DVSA rewrites the defect, remedy or concern, the old and new text will appear here with both dates.

The same recall in other registers

No match found in the American, Canadian or European registers by manufacturer reference. A recall can exist abroad under a different reference; this site only claims a match when the reference agrees.
