- Engine / equipment
- Dacia Spring electric (first generation)
- Period mentioned
- 2021–2023
- Symptoms
- A red warning light comes on with the message “panne électrique danger” (electrical fault, danger) and, in some cases, the car will not start.
- Possible cause described
- An on-board charger fault: an oscillating signal from a microprocessor can cause an overcurrent in the DC/DC converter and damage the “service plug” (the connector firefighters use to disconnect the battery). In September 2023 Dacia opened special technical operation 0E3Q for 5,936 Spring cars in France: it reprograms the charger and sometimes the EVC computer. It is not an official recall.
- Check for the garage
- Ask Dacia by VIN whether operation 0E3Q is pending on the car. With the red warning light on, do not keep driving; the garage reads the charger and EVC codes and updates their software.
- Cost cited in the source
- Free for the owner (special technical operation).A rough figure from the original database, not an up-to-date quote.
