Recall 06V369000
Electrical System — Gem · reported 28 Sep 2006 · 170 vehicles potentially affected
What's wrong
ON CERTAIN LOW SPEED VEHICLES, THREE BOLTS ON THE BACK OF THE POWER SIGNAL DISTRIBUTION MODULE (PSDM) MAY NOT HAVE BEEN TIGHTENED PROPERLY WHICH COULD CAUSE A TOTAL LOSS OF POWER TO THE VEHICLE.
The risk
A LOSS OF POWER WILL RENDER THE CAR INOPERATIVE AND, IF IT HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING, CAN RENDER THE VEHICLE A ROAD HAZARD. ADDITIONALLY, LOSS OF HEADLAMP, TAIL LAMP OR TURN SIGNAL LAMP FUNCTIONS COULD LIMIT THE VEHICLE'S VISIBILITY TO OTHER DRIVERS, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
The fix
DEALERS WILL INSPECT AND REPLACE, AS NECESSARY, THE POWER SIGNAL DISTRIBUTION MODULE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON OCTOBER 3, 2006. OWNERS MAY CONTACT GLOBAL ELECTRIC AT 1-888-871-4367.
