The risk
The open circuit detecting system on the high voltage circuit may be over-sensitive and could unnecessarily cut off the current. As a result, the vehicle may lose power during driving, increasing the risk of an accident. Moreover, it could be impossible to restart or move the vehicle for several minutes. The product does not comply with the Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles.
