Owner report 11467485 · 2022-06-04 (June 4, 2022)
The Sevcon DC to DC converter failed causing a total loss of all 12 volt power. This occurred for the second time on the expressway at 70 mph at night. It led to loss of any lighting on the vehicle, headlight, tail light, brake light, turn signals, horn and emergency flashers and ABS sensors all stopped working. It is a very serious safety concern and obviously creating a very dangerous situation. It is a know issue with the manufactured with many documented incidents and a recall for the same problem for another model year.
