If the vehicle continues to be driven in this condition, in an extreme case, the overheat protection control may operate and the engine and traction motor will stop.
What are the hazards?
The loss of motive power due to powertrain shut down may pose an accident hazard.
What should consumers do?
Owners of vehicles within the affected VIN range will soon be advised to contact their Infiniti Retail Centre to have the hybrid powertrain control module reprogrammed with revised protection logic. The reprogramming will be at no cost to owners.
