Engine / equipment
e-Power lithium-ion battery controller (LBC): Nissan X-Trail T33
Period mentioned
2021–2026 (built from 1/12/2021 to 21/4/2026; only the VINs in the recall)
Symptoms
While driving, the car goes into fail-safe mode: it limits power and does not charge; under certain conditions it can lose propulsion and stop.
Possible cause described
According to the EU alert SR/01993/26 (Safety Gate, notified by France) and the UK DVSA (R/2026/265, 21,835 cars), the circuits that monitor cell voltage can detect anomalies that are not there, because of parasitic effects or changes in circuit resistance; the system switches to fail-safe mode and, during regenerative charging, may open the main relay and leave the car without propulsion. The fix is a battery management software update.
Check for the garage
If a system warning appears or the car loses power, leave the road as soon as it is safe. Ask a Nissan dealer, with the VIN, whether the recall is outstanding on your car.
Cost cited in the source
