Stellantis e-CMP: motor síncrono de 100 and 115 kW and baterías de 50 a 75 kWhElectronics
Faulty air-conditioning compressor that can cut the drivetrain (2023) on the Stellantis e-CMP (e-208, Corsa-e, ë-C4…)
In 2023 the KBA published a campaign for Opel, Peugeot, Citroën and DS electric cars over a faulty air-conditioning compressor that can cause the drivetrain to disconnect. It is fixed with a software update.[1]
Why this rating?
Medium severity: It can leave you stranded or get worse if ignored, without destroying the engine.
Frequency occasional: This is a preventive campaign with a software fix, covering 85,807 vehicles in Germany, more than half of them Opels; the source gives no real cases of failure, so it does not go beyond ‘occasional’.[1]
Symptoms
- The drivetrain disconnects with the car moving, and it loses drive power.[1]Less power: other faults that cause it · Monitor

- High severityFrequency: OccasionalTraction batteryTraction battery control calibration: motor cut-out from faulty readings (2022)A faulty software calibration of the battery control unit could misread the cell voltage or temperature and trigger an emergency motor cut-out. It affected Stellantis and Toyota electric cars built in 2022.
- Critical severityFrequency: RareElectronicsAstra Electric: communication fault between control units that can make the car move backwards (2023)In 2023 Opel recalled 1,466 Astra L Electrics because a communication fault between the engine control unit and the body control unit misread the immobiliser data, and the car could move in reverse when pulling away on a slope.
- Medium severityFrequency: OccasionalChargingOn-board charger and charging port: AC charging refused or interruptedOwners of the e-208, e-2008, Corsa-e, ë-C4 and 600e mainly cite faults with the on-board charger, the cable lock or the charging port, which stop AC charging even when the battery is healthy.
