Consumer-impact summary[edit | edit source]
Incidents[edit | edit source]
This is a list of all consumer-protection incidents this company is involved in. Any incidents not mentioned here can be found in the Bosch category.
E-bike batteries[edit | edit source]
Only the e-bike batteries from Bosch themselves can be used on the modern e-bikes.[1]
Many e-bikes, like those of Bosch or Shimano, have their own proprietary systems, making it complicated for third-parties to provide spare parts, which would also void the warranty of the e-bike. Right to repair legislation would make it easier to provide spare batteries for these e-bikes, which the industry is against by claiming it would be unsafe.[2]
Dishwasher with home connect system[edit | edit source]
- Main article: Bosch Cloud Dishwasher Incident
The home connect system mandates that users connect their dishwasher to Wi‑Fi and register for a Home Connect account in order to access essential functions—such as rinse cycles, eco mode, and delay start—that were previously available directly via physical controls.
Products[edit | edit source]
- Bosch Spexor (2019)
- Bosch 500 series dishwasher

Only Bosch manufactured batteries will be used on any new Bosch e-bike – this has always been the case and so it makes advice on interchangeability a little more straightforward than with the likes of Shimano and Brose who have both allowed the use of third party batteries with their mid-drive motor systems.
