December 7, 2023 NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 23V828000
Relay Control Wire May Short Circuit
A short circuit increases the risk of fire.
NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V828
Manufacturer Ineos Automotive Americas, LLC
Components ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Potential Number of Units Affected 706
Summary
Ineos Automotive Americas, LLC (Ineos) is recalling certain 2024 Grenadier vehicles equipped with the auxiliary switch package relay. The relay control wire may have been trapped under the relay power cable connection fastener during assembly, which can potentially damage the relay control wire insulation and result in a short.
Remedy
Dealers will inspect and secure the wiring, and repair or replace any damaged wiring as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed December 21, 2023. Owners may contact Ineos customer service at 1-919-296-3626.
Notes
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
Chronology :
In late November 2023 INEOS identified a potential issue with the installation of an auxiliary switch relay on a vehicle at its production facility. In that vehicle, the relay power cable attachment point had pinched and trapped the relay control wiring. INEOS investigated further to understand whether the assembly issue was an isolated case or broader concern and also conducted failure mode validation testing. While to date only one (the original) vehicle has been identified as having the condition, out of an abundance of caution INEOS made a determination of a safety defect on December 7th, 2023. INEOS is not aware of any warranty claims potentially related to this issue.
* On 12/18/2023 INEOS amended its report to include 21 additional vehicles into the population that were not previously included because updated manifests were received after filing, and to adjust the customer notification date.*

INEOS is not aware of any warranty claims potentially related to this issue. Description of Remedy :
Description of Remedy Program : INEOS dealers will perform an inspection of the auxiliary package switch
relay terminals. If a pinching condition exists, dealers will repair or replace the damaged control wire section and secure the wiring. If the pinching condition does not exist, dealers will secure the control wiring with insulated tape as an added measure. All vehicles are currently covered under the INEOS new vehicle warranty and there are no out of warranty repairs related to this condition. As such, INEOS does not plan to include a statement in the Part 577 owner letter concerning reimbursement for pre- notification repairs. How Remedy Component Differs from Recalled Component :
Identify How/When Recall Condition was Corrected in Production : The component is identical, corrected routing of component wire differentiates the remedied condition from the recalled condition.
