The I-PACE’s defining problem is high-voltage battery overheating: recall 23V-369 covers about 6,422 2019–2024 I-PACEs, with follow-ups for 2019 (24V-633) and 2020–2021 cars (26V-067) that told owners to park and charge outside and cap the charge until repaired, and some batteries replaced. Traction-battery faults dominate the I-PACE’s NHTSA owner complaints, mostly on 2019–2020 cars.
CarWhere lists 9 documented I-PACE issues, including 8 NHTSA safety recalls, each with affected years, powertrains, symptoms, pre-purchase checks and a source. Recall entries come from NHTSA's recall dataset on the DOT open-data portal, which may not list every campaign, so run the specific VIN through NHTSA's recall lookup.
