NHTSA recall 16V521000
Hybrid Propulsion System · General Motors, LLC
Details
What's wrong: The affected vehicles have a shut-off switch for the high voltage battery for use when servicing the vehicle. This manual service disconnect switch (msd) may not be properly installed and thus may not lock into position, unexpectedly disconnecting the high-voltage power while driving, effectively stalling the vehicle.
Why it matters: A vehicle stall increases the risk of a crash.
The fix: Gm will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the msd and correct the installation, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on August 10, 2016.
