- High-Voltage Traction Battery Degradation and Cell ImbalanceSerious
The 201.6V nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) high-voltage traction battery pack deteriorates over time and extended mileage. Individual battery modules lose capacity and develop voltage imbalances, causing the hybrid control module to illuminate the master warning triangle and store DTC P0A80. In heavily congested UK city driving, degraded packs force the petrol engine to run continuously, drastically harming fuel economy and accelerating wear on the engine.
- Electric Inverter Coolant Water Pump FailureModerate
The dedicated electric auxiliary coolant pump responsible for circulating coolant through the hybrid power inverter assembly can fail internally due to electrical coil burnout or impeller seizure. When circulation stops, inverter temperature rises rapidly under load, triggering the red triangle master warning light, storing DTC P0A93, and forcing the car into fail-safe limp mode to prevent inverter failure. Subject to UK safety recall R/2012/127.
- Digital Combination Meter Instrument Cluster Display FailureModerate
The central digital combination meter display mounted under the windscreen frequently fails to power on, particularly during damp or cold UK winter mornings. The fault is caused by deteriorated surface-mount micro-capacitors on the instrument cluster circuit board, which fail to supply regulated voltage. When blank, the driver loses the speedometer, fuel level gauge, and gear position indicator, representing an automatic UK MOT failure and preventing the car from shutting down easily.
