Opel Grandland X: Faults in the drive battery can lead to overheating or fire

08/06/2023

Opel is recalling 5,178 Grandland X of the model years 2019 to 2022 to the workshop worldwide. The reason for the measure is a fault in the cells of the drive battery, which can lead to overheating, smoke development and possibly fire.

The control unit of the traction battery is remotely charged with an improved battery monitoring software. If a non-compliance is detected, the traction battery is replaced. The KBA monitors the measure under the reference number “012769” and the internal manufacturer code is “KES“.
