MG Motor Australia is proactively recalling HS + EV plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV) supplied in Australia between February 1, 2021 and March 23, 2023, due to an individual product fault.
More than 5168 HS + EV models are involved in this particular recall.
“Safety is of the utmost importance to MG and as such, we have already commenced contacting owners of affected vehicles and all other relevant parties to organise inspection and repair, at no cost to the customer, if required,” a company spokesperson says.
According to Vehicle Recalls Australia, due to a manufacturing defect, the carpet underlay may be positioned between the nut and the electrical ground stud.
If the nut loosens over time due to vibrations whilst driving, it could cause the wiring beneath the floor to overheat and it may result in a fire inside the vehicle.
Vehicle Recalls Australia says involved consumers should contact their nearest MG dealer to arrange an inspection of the vehicle and rectification where necessary, free of charge.
