The Integrated Charging Control Unit (ICCU) can deteriorate over time due to high voltage and temperature variation. As a result, the ICCU may not be able to charge the battery, leading to a gradual discharge and reductions of drive power. If the driver continues to operate the vehicle despite of the warnings, this can lead a complete loss of drive power. This increases the risk of accidents and injuries.
