Concern

C0455 Traction Battery Inspect/Replace

Defect, as DVSA words it

ESS Traction battery. 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 and a risk of fire. 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

Replacement of ESS Traction battery.

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.
