🚨 Product safety recalls - fire risk 🚨

🚗 Volvo XC40 2020-2021
Due to a manufacturing defect, the cell modules installed in the high voltage battery may be defective. As a result, it could cause a thermal overload leading to a vehicle fire when the vehicle is fully charged.
Full recall: https://www.vehiclerecalls.gov.au/recalls/rec-006647

🚗 BMW 2 3 4 and 5 series plus X3 X4 and Z4 2020-2025
Due to a manufacturing defect, the starter motor solenoid switch can experience increased wear that could cause an internal short circuit. If this occurs, the driver may be unable to start the engine, and in the worst case, the overheating can lead to a fire during vehicle operation.
Full recall: https://www.vehiclerecalls.gov.au/recalls/rec-006668

🚗 BMW 330e iPe, 530e iPe and 740 iPe 2015-2020
