I wonder if this is global or North America only?
( Haven't they delivered more than 439 2.x's ? )
Tesla Motors is pretty proud of the fact that it decided to recall 439 Roadster 2.0 and 2.5 vehicles after a single one saw "a short, smoke and possible fire behind the right front headlamp," but a fire hazard in every one of 439 shipping products isn't exactly a ratio to be boasting about.
I had no idea the Roadster has a 12V battery. I can file this one under "I learn something everyday"...Here's a photo of the recall fix in progress. On the right you can see the auxiliary 12V backup battery.
I don't think I've heard of any EV without a 12V aux battery. When the car is switched off, the traction battery is disconnected....Disclaimer: I don't know how Tesla has done this, this is how the earlier EVs did it.

Is it a deep cycle, lead acid battery?
My Lexus GS 450h Hybrid has the same, small 12v battery in the trunk...I was told by a tech that it was to power the keyless entry & ignition systems.
