Cooper SE battery recall

I got a recall notice for my EV's high-voltage battery. It needs a software update and will take about a day. Does anyone know what the problem is?

Looks like a handful of battery packs rolled off the line with some defects, so they’re doing a recall to boost the car’s software game. This update will help the system spot any hiccups and steer clear of overheating issues. Basically, it’s a smart move while the crew digs into which battery packs are affected and figures out a fix.

You should schedule a dealer appointment for the software update to ensure safe, optimal battery performance post-recall.

It's the SME issue (BMS) HV battery software.

I think this one's addressed already

I see recalls as a good thing for our cars. Have you had any issues since then?

Battery recalls are a bit scary, but it's good you're getting it fixed. Recalls happen for different reasons. Sometimes it's because the battery might overheat or catch fire. The update could help prevent that by better managing the battery's temperature. Other times, it's because of charging problems, like slow charging or errors. The update might fix those. Sometimes, the update can even make the battery work better, giving you more range. Or, it could be to fix bugs in the battery's computer. It could also be to help the car find battery problems earlier. Since it's about the battery, get it checked soon. A day for the update sounds right. Ask the service person why the recall happened and what the update does.
