The Federal Motor Transport Authority (KBA) has warned that the recall concerns around 32,000 units of Citroën, DS, Opel and Peugeot cars in Germany, built between 2019 and 2023.
The company plans to contact affected customers shortly to check the drive battery support on their vehicles. An Opel spokeswoman confirmed the recall by saying, “We will contact customers shortly to check the drive battery support on the affected vehicles and, if necessary, insert water drainage holes at the specified locations.”
This measure is expected to prevent any risk of rusting through the battery reinforcement and box in the future.
This latest recall follows numerous electric models from Stellantis, and Toyota (NYSE:TM) that were sent to workshops due to potential battery issues.
The cause of the PHEV recall is reportedly related to the drive battery’s support. The previous recalls were due to a software calibration error in the traction battery control unit, possibly leading to the drive being switched off.
Shares of STLA are up 0.34% in afternoon trading on Wednesday.
