What's wrong

Bluecar SAS (Bluecar) is recalling certain 2016 Bluecar vehicles manufactured April 24, 2015, to April 19, 2016. In heavy rain or snow, water may leak into the high voltage connector between the battery and the engine possibly resulting in the engine shutting down.

The risk

An uncontrolled engine shutdown may increase the risk of a crash.

The fix

Bluecar has already notified owners, and technicians have applied grease on both ends of the connector, free of charge. The recall has already been completed. Owners may contact Bluecar customer service at 1-972 757-7251.

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
