In the event that the EME detects this condition it will shut down high-voltage electrical power. A shut down of high-voltage electrical power would result in a loss of propulsion increasing the risk of a crash. However the 12-volt electrical power remains functional to support power steering and braking.","document":{"url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2019/MC-10161550-0001.pdf","alternate_url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2019/MC-10161550-9999.pdf","confirmed":false},"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/bulletins/10161550","components":[{"id":"electrical","name":"Electrical system","parent":null},{"id":"steering","name":"Steering","parent":null},{"id":"powertrain","name":"Transmission and driveline","parent":null}],"codes":[],"topics":[],"vehicles":[{"make":"BMW","model":"I3","year_from":2014,"year_to":2018,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2014_bmw_i3","2015_bmw_i3","2016_bmw_i3","2017_bmw_i3","2018_bmw_i3"]}],"as_of":"2026-10-19","note":"A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it.
