| Defect | In the high-voltage battery cell modules of plug-in hybrid vehicles, due to improper equipment settings, some cell surfaces are uneven. As a result, a short circuit may occur inside the cell module while the battery is fully charged and parked, potentially leading to thermal battery abnormalities and, in the worst case, fire. |
| Component | Electrical system (high-voltage battery) |
| Remedy | All vehicles will be inspected with a dedicated diagnostic tool. If replacement is necessary, the cell module will be replaced with a good one, and a countermeasure program equipped with a vehicle self-diagnosis function will be installed. Additionally, vehicle users will be notified not to perform external charging via plug-in until the vehicle is brought in for service. |
