    Re: Warranty replacement of 12 V battery

    Posted on 19/Apr/21 - 6:43 pm

    I purchased a CPO 2017 REx in 2019 and think there might be something going on with the 12v, but dealership says not covered under warranty? Is there a difference in how i3s utilize this battery verses how ICE vehicles use their battery? Why are some dealers replacing these 12v batteries under warranty, but my dealer is not?

    I'm currently fixing a similar issue, but not with the sensor falling out, but with a broken sensor, as in no signal. Hubauer Shop (Germany) is very good for diagrams. For the front, apparently there's backing plates on the front bumper/fender. Part number: 51117414362. You need last 7 digits of your VIN to search. Ideally you need to remove the underbody panel, not just the wheel arch liner to get a proper look. Pretty sure these sensors engage with the backing plate, but don't just get pushed into posit [...]
