Opel is recalling 1,466 Astra electric vehicles built in 2023 worldwide. The reason for the recall is a communication problem between the engine and body control unit that leads to incorrect interpretation of the immobiliser data. As a result, the vehicle can roll in the opposite direction when starting off.
The engine control unit software is updated in the workshop. Affected versions are only electric vehicles.
The KBA monitors the measure under the reference number “013243” and the internal manufacturer code is “KIM“.
