The risk
An assembly error in the traction battery may cause poor electrical contact between the bus bar and the relay. This could lead to abnormal heating of the electrical connection and battery cells, potentially causing a fire in the traction battery and increasing the risk of the vehicle catching fire. 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.
