Electrical System Fire

A severe electrical fire originating from the battery system has been reported at very low mileage (90 miles). This indicates a critical potential failure mode. Estimated repair cost: Extremely High (Battery Replacement).

Charging Port Actuator Failure

Failure of the charging pin actuator can impact the vehicle's ability to charge and potentially affect thermal management during charging. Estimated repair cost: $300 - $700.

Seat Belt Malfunction

Issues with the seat belt system have been reported, representing a direct failure of a safety restraint system. Estimated repair cost: $150 - $400.
