Details

What's wrong: Due to a communication error within the electric drive system, the electric powertrain unit may shut down, temporarily immobilizing the vehicle and resulting in a loss of propulsion power.

Why it matters: A vehicle stall increases the risk of a crash.

The fix: Mbusa will notify owners, and dealers will update the electric drive system software, free of charge. The recall began on December 2, 2015.
