Jaguar tells owners of older I-Pace electric SUVs to park them outdoors due to battery fire risk

DETROIT (AP) — Jaguar is telling owners of about 3,000 electric SUVs to park them outdoors and away from structures due to the risk of battery fires. The British automaker is recalling I-Pace SUVs from the 2019 model year, but has not yet developed a final remedy. As an interim fix, dealers will update software to limit battery charging to 80% of capacity. The company has issued three previous recalls for the same problem, and all of the SUVs will need the new remedy. The automaker says there have been three fires in the U.S. after previous software updates on the vehicles. No injuries were reported.
