Defect
On e-POWER vehicles, the vehicle control module software is incorrect. Under specific road and driving conditions, when the generator engine is commanded to start, the system may incorrectly detect a fuel-out condition even though fuel remains in the tank. This triggers a fail-safe control that cuts power output, and the vehicle may become inoperable.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, reprogram the vehicle control module with the corrected software.
