The vehicles may be driven. However, the company is advising owners to refrain from recharging these hybrid vehicles, and to park them away from structures and other vehicles, until they are remedied.

The remedy involves a software flash. If a certain error code is observed, the battery pack will be replaced.

Affected customers will be advised when they may schedule service. The company estimates 1% of affected vehicles may have the defect.

Additional vehicles are affected in Canada (est. 3,856) and 9,249 outside North America.
