"Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) issued a notice to I-PACE customers explaining that some electric vehicles have experienced thermal overload in the battery, which may present as smoke or fire."
"The company has urged people to park away from buildings and charge their cars outside until they get an interim repair, which restricts the maximum charge of the car to 90 percent."
"A vehicle thermal overload condition, such as fire or smoke, can result in increased risk of occupant injury and/or injury to persons outside the vehicle, as well as property damage."
Jaguar has warned I-PACE electric vehicle owners of potential fire risks due to thermal overload in the battery. Over 26,000 vehicles in the UK are affected. Previous software updates have not eliminated the risk. Jaguar Land Rover advised customers to park away from buildings and charge their cars outside until an interim repair is available, which limits the maximum charge to 90 percent. Drivers are concerned about the lack of information regarding a permanent fix for the issue.
