According to the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the inverter software may detect a short circuit and shut down the EV system, resulting in a loss of drive power.<\/p>\n
As per Nissan, conductive shavings from the drive motor’s slip ring have the potential to short-circuit the two slip rings in impacted vehicles.<\/p>\n
Due to the short circuit, the inverter senses an overcurrent and reduces motor torque in accordance with fail-safe protocols. When this occurs, the vehicle may abruptly shut down, displaying an “EV System Off” notice on the dashboard, reports Electrek. <\/p>\n
The automaker first noticed the issue in January last year during a production trial.<\/p>\n
Beginning on October 20, owners of potentially affected automobiles will be alerted. Dealers will update the inverter to improve processes free of charge. <\/p>\n
According to the company, the process might take less than an hour.<\/p>\n
In August, Nissan issued a recall notice for more than 2,36,000 small cars in the US due to a potential issue leading to a loss of steering control.<\/p>\n
The affected vehicles include certain Sentra compact cars from the model years 2020 through 2022.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
