Feb 10 (Reuters) – Jaguar Land Rover is recalling ‍2,278 I-PACE SUVs in the U.S. as a high voltage battery ‌may overheat, ‌increasing the risk of a fire, the U.S. National Highway Traffic ​Safety Administration said on ‍Tuesday.

“As ​an interim repair, ​the battery software ‍will be updated by a dealer, or through an over-the-air (OTA) ‍update to limit the state of charge ‍to ‍90%”, NHTSA ​said, adding ​that ⁠the final remedy ‌is currently under development.
