The affected models include the i4, i5, i7, and iX SUVs, manufactured between 2022 and 2025. Although only 0.1% of these vehicles have reported the problem, it poses a safety risk during driving. Investigations initially pointed to faults in the drive units, but subsequent checks confirmed the issue is software-related, involving a high-voltage shutdown condition that was misidentified as double-isolation.
