Battery recalls

What was actually done
NHTSA files this under the twelve volt battery category, not the high voltage battery. The unit converts high voltage down to twelve volts. When it fails it stops charging the small battery, and the car then loses drive power, usually with a warning and then a shutdown. The main pack is fine. The fix is hardware plus software, not software alone.
