Mitsubishi I-miev: Drive May Be Lost
Mitsubishi is recalling 25 model year 2010 i-MiEV vehicles (right-hand drive models sold in Japan and the United Kingdom) because the main battery fuse may melt, cutting power to the motor control unit. When this happens, the vehicle will not start or will lose all driving power even if the battery is charged. The fix involves replacing the fuse with a modified version.
