It was recalled because the battery’s thermal fuse is not fitted adequately to the motor, meaning the battery management system may fail and the battery may overheat or explode; product marking and labelling also require improvement. The import was rejected at the border and destroyed, and the online marketplace listing (Amazon) has been removed.
