Motiv TSB-Ring Terminal

Service Bulletin/Repair Instructions

Motiv Power Systems, Inc. has determined that on certain vehicles converted to a Motiv Gen 4 E-450, F-59 and Gen 5 F-59 and F-53 model powertrain, 12-volt power wires crimped to a ring terminal on the master disconnect switch under the hood could deteriorate over time and lose connection from the crimp barrel resulting in a loss of 12-volt control power to the HV batteries. This, in turn could result in a loss of vehicle propulsion.

DCFC Loopback Wire 24V547

Service Bulletin/Repair Instructions

Motiv Power Systems, Inc. (Motiv) has determined that on certain vehicles converted to a Motiv Gen 5 EPIC E-450 powertrain, a Controller Area Network (“CAN”) signal wire could potentially chafe against the vehicle’s frame rail and short to ground – resulting in a loss of CAN signals. This in turn could result in a loss of vehicle propulsion.

PCM Software Amend 24V546

Service Bulletin/Repair Instructions

Motiv Power Systems, Inc. has determined that on certain vehicles converted to a Motiv Gen 5 EPIC (E-450, F-59, F-53 models) powertrain, the vehicle control software could misclassify a loss of isolation between the chassis and high voltage system during operation. This in turn could result in a loss of vehicle propulsion and power-assistance for steering and braking.

Complaint counts are reports filed with NHTSA, not failure rates. A common model collects more of them than a rare one that breaks more often.
