What's wrong

The risk

The accumulation of liquid inside the battery pack enclosure may lead to an electrical short, increasing the risk of a fire.

Dealers will add four holes and automatic activating drain valves to each battery pack enclosure, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed May 3, 2023.
