An electrified vehicle having a high-voltage source, such as a traction battery, includes at least one self-destructing or otherwise irreversibly disabling integrated circuit (IC) that may be activated by a controller in response to vehicle sensor data indicative of a situation that may expose rescue or recovery personnel to a possibility of electric shock. The IC(s) may be internal to a traction battery to disconnect or disable groups of cells from one another, and/or external to the traction battery to disconnect the high-voltage source from the vehicle electrical system.
