An official CAA Japan notice concerns Passenger car (Nissan Kicks) - Repair. Defect in electrical equipment (lithium-ion battery controller). ■ Defective component: Electrical equipment (lithium-ion battery controller). ■ Condition and cause of the structure, equipment or performance considered noncompliant with standards: An inappropriate control program in the lithium-ion battery controller may prevent accurate determination of the battery's state of charge. Consequently, the lithium-ion battery level gauge on the instrument panel repeatedly rises and falls. If driving continues in this condition, the e-POWER system warning light illuminates. In the worst case, an erroneous determination that the battery charge is insufficient may stop power output to the drive motor, leaving the vehicle unable to run. Published 2025-03-27.
