What the hazard is
If left unrepaired, there is a risk that the perforation/corrosion could weaken the battery reinforcing plate/battery cover effecting the High Voltage battery security. This may result in the breakdown of the vehicle and/or may result in the potential for a battery or vehicle fire. A vehicle fire could increase the risk of injury or death to vehicle occupants, other road users or bystanders.
