The issue

On certain vehicles with an optional 700 amp battery, the front "three-cell" vent cap of the battery may become dislodged by the vehicle's inner hood panel. A dislodged vent cap would permit hydrogen gas to escape from the battery. In the presence of an ignition source the hydrogen could explode. Correction: "three-cell" vent caps will be replaced with individual battery cell caps.

Description (français)

Sur certains véhicules dotés de la batterie 700 (en option), le couvercle des trois éléments avant peut être soulevé par la tôle intérieure du capot. Une fois le couvercle soulevé, l'hydrogène peut s'échapper et, mis en présence d'une flamme ou d'une étincelle, exploser.
