Concern

C0446 Traction Battery Replace & C0485 Traction Battery repair

Defect, as DVSA words it

There is a risk that a small metal piece from a broken terminal fixation might come loose and create a short circuit between battery cells inside the traction battery which might lead to overheating. There will be a red warning in the instrument cluster to the driver if a short-circuit is detected inside the battery before the battery overheats.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Replace Traction batteries

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.
