Version	Recalls

Each campaign in detail

Unintended high-voltage cut-out while driving (recall)
Manufacturer recall
An overly sensitive high-voltage safety system can cut the power for no reason, causing a loss of power while driving, then prevent restarting for several minutes. Stellantis recalled e-208s for this fault: a software update is often enough, but the on-board charger or the DC-DC converter sometimes has to be replaced.
Fixed free of charge by a dealer and not counted in the reliability score: ask for proof the work was done (invoice, or a VIN check at a dealer).
