The risk
The Integrated Charging Control Unit (ICCU) can deteriorate over time due to high voltage and temperature variation. As a result, the ICCU may not be able to charge the battery, leading to a gradual discharge and reductions of drive power. If the driver continues to operate the vehicle despite of the warnings, this can lead a complete loss of drive power. This increases the risk of accidents and injuries. 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.
