DS7 Crossback: Water penetration can lead to battery fire

07/05/2023

DS Automobiles is recalling 3,168 DS7 Crossback vehicles from the production period 2019 to 2022. The reason for the measure is that water penetration can lead to rusting through the battery reinforcement and the battery box. This can result in a battery or vehicle fire in the worst case.

The corrosion protection of the battery pack is improved in the workshop. The KBA is investigating the measure under the reference number “012668“, and the manufacturer’s internal code is “JHW“.
