What's wrong: A ground cable bolt for the 48v ground connection under the front passenger seat may not be secured properly, which can cause the electrical cable to overheat.

Why it matters: An overheated electrical cable can increase the risk of a fire.

The fix: Dealers will inspect and tighten the ground cable bolt, as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed July 8, 2022.
