Issue

On certain hybrid vehicles, the manual service disconnect (MSD) may not have been properly installed and may not be locked in position. This could cause the MSD to become loose and disconnect while driving, which could cut off all high-voltage power to the vehicle. The loss of high-voltage power could cause the vehicle to stall without warning, which would result in lost propulsion which, in conjunction with traffic and road conditions, and the driver's reactions, could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will inspect and seat the MSD connector properly. The dealer will also install an updated calibration to monitor if the high voltage interlock loop is incomplete.
