Jaguar, which is already in a shitstorm after the presentation of the brand's new logo, is now buying back 2,760 cars because these can catch fire.
Jaguar doesn't really sell anything in Denmark. But in the US the situation is even worse. Too many of the cars that the brand has sold must now be bought back.
Specifically, it concerns 2,760 cars that Jaguar must now pay to buy back due to the risk of fire in the cars.
The I-Pace model is so affected by problems with a problematic battery pack that Jaguar apparently now sees no other option than to buy the cars back.
This is after several attempts to let software updates fix the overheating battery pack problem. Jaguar has also repeatedly had to tell its customers to park outside and preferably at a good distance from everyone else. Both cars and buildings.
In the USA alone, the authorities have registered three cases where cars have been driven off due to faults in the battery pack. Something Boosted has also described.

Back in August, Jaguar owners were told to park their cars outside. They were also asked not to charge the battery pack to more than 80 percent.
All the cars bought back were built in 2019. The first year the car model was on the street. All versions that are now being bought back were also built by the Austrian car manufacturer Magna Steyr. While the problematic battery pack is from South Korean LG.
LG also supplied the battery pack for the scandal-hit electric car Chevrolet Bolt. Here it all ended up in a compensation case, which means that the battery giant has to shell out over 1 billion Danish kroner in compensation to the car owners. Read more about it here .
