2006 Gem NEV recalls

Recall 06V-369: Electrical System

Reported Sep 28, 2006 · 170 vehicles affected · GLOBAL ELECTRIC MOTORCARS, LLC

Problem: 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.

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.

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.
