The risk
The product poses a risk of injuries because a control board in the "Intelligent Power Module (IPM)" of the inverter assembly may fail. If this happens, various warning lamps will be illuminated on the instrument panel. In limited instances, the fuse of the power supply circuit could blow. If this occurs, the hybrid system will stop while the vehicle is being driven.
Product: Passenger car.
