RecallScope risk estimate:HighCAA Japan

An official CAA Japan notice concerns Passenger cars (Honda N-VAN) - Repair. Defect in the electric motor power supply system (high-voltage battery). Defective part (component name): Electric motor power supply system (high-voltage battery). Condition and cause of the structure, equipment or performance deemed noncompliant with standards: In the electric motor power supply system, improper management of the jigs used to manufacture battery cells inside the high-voltage battery has allowed foreign matter to enter some cells. If the foreign matter penetrates as far as the electrode layers that make up the cell, electrolyte leaks and the power system warning light illuminates. If use continues in this condition, battery output decreases, resulting in poor acceleration. In addition, if the electrolyte damages the temperature sensor in a low-temperature environment, the fail-safe function activates and stops battery output. The warning light indicating that continued driving is not possible may illuminate, and the vehicle may become unable to be driven. Published 2025-11-06.
