1. A system, comprising a computer including a processor and a memory, the memory storing instructions executable by the computer to:

  • measure a temperature of a vehicle propulsion subsystem;

    determine a time threshold based at least in part on a thermal mass of the vehicle propulsion subsystem;

    actuate a first countermeasure when the temperature exceeds a first threshold;

    measure an elapsed time from when the temperature exceeds the first threshold;

    determine that the elapsed time exceeds the time threshold; and

    then, actuate a second countermeasure;

    wherein the countermeasures include actuating a vehicle climate control subsystem and opening at least one vehicle window.
