STEERING MAY NOT BEHAVE AS DESIGNED
R/2015/244 · 3 Dec 2015
3 Dec 2015Defect
The engine current sensors have not been calibrated correctly which could lead to an increased recuperation torque during vehicle deceleration. An increased recuperation torque during deceleration could lead to a vehicle oversteer condition in the i3 and vehicle understeer condition in the i8. This could lead to skidding on slippery roads during driving.
Remedy
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and calibrate sensors for measuring the engine current.
