2014 FIAT 500E Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2014 Fiat 500E has 3 recalls, all centered on the electric propulsion system failing while driving, which can leave the car without power on the road and raise the risk of a crash. Two of the recalls involve the power inverter module: voltage spikes can cause the propulsion system to shut down unexpectedly, and a separate issue with the inverter's cooling plates can allow coolant to leak into high-voltage circuitry, blowing a fuse and cutting drive power. The third recall involves a software mismatch between the vehicle's electric control unit and the battery pack controller, which can cause the propulsion system to shut down completely if the car enters limp-home mode.
