| Defect | Due to insufficient design review of the inverter power cable, the high-voltage battery cable is routed near the holder, and in some cases, the cable is pinched by the holder. As a result, the cable and holder may interfere due to driving vibrations, etc., damaging the cable and displaying a warning to the driver. In the worst case, the cable may break, making the vehicle unable to drive. |
