The text below is quoted from the CPSC notice word for word.
- What was recalled
- This recall involves certain Tesla Powerwall 2 units, fully-integrated AC battery systems used for energy storage for self-consumption, time-based control, and backup power. Model number "Powerwall 2" is printed on the nameplate label on the side of the unit.
- The hazard
- The lithium-ion battery cells in certain Powerwall 2 systems can cause the unit to stop functioning during normal use, which can result in overheating and, in some cases, smoke or flame and can cause death or serious injury due to fire and burn hazards.
- Injuries
- The firm has received 22 reports of overheating, including six reports of smoking and five reports of fire, resulting in minor property damage. No injuries have been reported.
- The remedy
- Consumers should ensure their Powerwall 2 system is online and check the Tesla App for a notification about whether their unit is included in the recall. Tesla has remotely discharged (or removed energy from the battery of) affected Powerwall 2 systems that are online, to prevent overheating, until the replacement is installed.
