    Reported March 10, 2026Model years 2025–2026EU Safety Gate SR/00796/26

    An anode defect may damage the battery cell's current collector and separator, causing an internal short circuit. This may reduce range, prevent recharging or cause thermal runaway and fire. The recall remedy is to recall the product from end users.

    Official EU Safety Gate text
    Component
    Fire
    Defect
    A production anomaly at the supplier’s facility may cause delamination of the anode in a battery cell, where electrode material detaches and can damage the current collector and separator, potentially leading to an internal short circuit in the traction battery and resulting in loss of autonomy, inability to recharge, or thermal runaway which could lead to a risk of fire. The product does not comply with the Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles.
