Making a mistake when tightening a screw can cause millions in damage. The error happened with two Caoa Cherry models: 17 units of the Tiggo 5X and the 7 Pro Hybrid, both with the MHEV Micro Hybrid system, with a 48-volt battery, were called for a recall due to fire risk.

SEE ALSO:

Because the battery cables were poorly tightened, which causes heating and even fire. The cars to be taken to dealerships are the Tiggos 5 and 7, hybrids produced from 2022 to 2025.
