Tell me again how electric cars are the unsafe ones.

According to the notice, the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) in the vehicles could leak brake fluid and cause an electrical short over time, which may start a fire while the car is parked or driving.

This particular failure mode could, in theory, happen in both internal-combustion and electric cars.
