What can go wrong

For affected vehicles battery cells were fitted in the high-voltage battery that can demonstrate an increased self-discharge due to a production fault. In the event of heavy self-discharge the yellow indicator lamps may light up.

The fix

The affected battery modules must be checked and if necessary replaced. The vehicle may only be charged outdoors and up to maximum 80%.

Is a specific car affected? A recall lists models and build dates, not individual vehicles, so these pages cannot tell you whether one car is included. Enter the registration on the DVSA vehicle recall checker on GOV.UK, or give the vehicle identification number (VIN) to the manufacturer or one of its dealers. Buying used? Ask the seller for proof that any recall work was done.
