Vehicle Recall

[Sanya]

Has anyone been called out for a MGS5 EV recall? What went wrong?

According to Google:

The MG S5 EV is facing a potential safety recall in Norway and Sweden due to a fire risk during pre-heating. Issues occur via the iSMART app or "Ready mode," causing severe heat, smoke, or fire. Owners are advised to avoid pre-heating, not leave the car unattended, and avoid parking indoors.

Key Details on the MG S5 Pre-heating Issue:
Affected Regions: Primarily reported in Norway and Sweden.
Risk: The car may overheat, potentially causing smoke or fire when using the pre-heating function (via app or "Ready mode").

Safety Instructions:
Do not use pre-heating via the iSMART app.
Do not leave the car in "Ready mode" unattended.
Do not leave passengers in the car with the heater on.
Avoid parking indoors or near buildings while the car is warming up.

Action: Owners should contact their local MG dealer for advice.
This is a developing situation, and it is recommended to monitor official MG communications for updates.

Bearing in mind Norway and Sweden have heat pumps fitted which the UK cars don't
