The short answer

NHTSA received GLOBAL ELECTRIC MOTORCARS, LLC’s report on Jun 21, 2006. Copied from NHTSA on Oct 20, 2026.

Every line below is in NHTSA’s own words, with its source beside it.

What’s wrong with it?

A LOSS OF HEADLAMPS COULD IMPAIR A DRIVER’S VISIBILITY, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH. IF THERE IS A LOSS OF TAIL LAMP OR TURN SIGNAL LAMP FUNCTION, A FOLLOWING DRIVER MAY NOT KNOW WHEN THE BRAKES HAVE BEEN APPLIED OR THAT THE VEHICLE IN FRONT IS TURNING, A REAR-END CRASH COULD OCCUR WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING.

ON CERTAIN 2 AND 4 PASSENGER, SHORT AND LONG BED LOW SPEED VEHICLES, THE 12 VOLT OUTPUT FROM THE AUXILIARY CARD CIRCUIT BOARD (A DC VOLTAGE TO DC VOLTAGE CONVERTER) MAY BECOME INOPERATIVE AND RESULT IN LOSS OF HEADLAMP, TAIL LAMP AND TURN SIGNAL LAMP FUNCTIONS.

What the record doesn’t say

  • NHTSA’s recall file doesn’t say whether anyone was hurt.
  • Whether one vehicle or seat has been fixed: only its maker, or NHTSA’s lookup with a VIN, can say.
  • This recall names only model years before 2015, which have no pages here. Your VIN, at NHTSA, says which recalls are open on a vehicle.
  • How many have been returned or fixed isn’t in the notice.
