The Federal Road Safety Corps has alerted Nigerians on the withdrawal of about 10,000 Ampera Motor vehicles by its manufacturer, Frankfurt-Opel.
In a statement issued on Sunday, FRSC indicated that the vehicles were withdrawn because of their battery-related problems.
The agency also said the Ampera-e vehicles built between 27 June 2016, and 5 September 2019 posed a safety risk to drivers.
Corps Marshal, Federal Road Safety Corps, Dr Boboye Oyeyemi said โNigerians to desist from further sales or usage of such vehicles on Nigerian roadsโ.
Part of the statement read, โThe European Union Rapid Alert System, for dangerous non-food products on 10th March 2021, recalled Opelโs Ampera E motor vehicles manufactured between 27 June 2016 and 5 September 2019, due to the high voltage of battery which may fail at full charging capacity and thereby, increase risk of fire incidence.
