    ENGINE MAY CUT OUT

    Defect

    It has been identified that the bolt that connects the ground cable from the wiring harness of the Digital Motor Electronics (DME) to the engine block may not have been tightened/torqued to the correct specification. This can lead to an under voltage supply which can trigger a reset of the DME. This can result in the engine cutting out or depending on vehicle speed to restart/turn on the engine once the reset has been completed.

    Remedy

    Recall all affected vehicles to check and if required retorque the bolt for the ground cable on the engine block.

    POWER STEERING MAY NOT PERFORM CORRECTLY

    Defect

    The electrical contact of the Electronic Control Unit (ECU) of the Electric Power Steering (EPS) is not sufficiently robust over the service life of the vehicle. As a result the power steering support may fail possibly leading to disconcerting driving situation for the driver. Additionally in a few cases a localised thermal event cannot be excluded.

    Remedy

    Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the steering gear (EPS).

    STEERING MAY NOT BEHAVE AS DESIGNED

    Defect

    The engine current sensors have not been calibrated correctly which could lead to an increased recuperation torque during vehicle deceleration. An increased recuperation torque during deceleration could lead to a vehicle oversteer condition in the i3 and vehicle understeer condition in the i8. This could lead to skidding on slippery roads during driving.

    Remedy

    Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and calibrate sensors for measuring the engine current.
