On certain vehicles, an error in a software update may prevent the batteries from properly balancing the voltage among individual cells. This may cause the vehicle to enter a reduced power mode. If a driver continues to operate a vehicle in reduced power mode, a loss of propulsion may occur, which could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will reprogram the Hybrid Powertrain Control Module 2.
The wording above is the department's own, as it stood in the monthly file this site last read. Vehicle counts are the sum of the counts published for each make and model the recall covers. To act on a recall, use the official notice: Transport Canada recall 2018320.
