January 25, 2024

SUBJECT:

ITS60913

 

 


Chronology :

September 2023, a drain valve for the ESS assembly was released which had a washer added to the face of the “bobbin” (internal component which reacts to liquid exposure). This was added to inhibit nuisance activation of the drain valve during times of high humidity and temperature.

December 2023, testing was being performed on an ESS assembly to validate liquid level calculations vs physical testing prior to drain valve activation. This testing indicated a less than optimal activation time of some of the drain valves.

December 2023/January 2024 testing and analysis continued on the delayed activation experienced from the drain valve and was ultimately determined the washer added to inhibit nuisance activation was impeding the bobbin from full function within a reasonable timeframe.

This issue was reviewed by the Vehicle Safety Committee during a special meeting on January 25, 2024, where the need for a recall was concurred, culminating in this 573 filing.
