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.
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.
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.
