The short answer

NHTSA received Automotive Innovations, Inc.’s report on Sep 5, 2012. 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?

Without the driver being alerted that the back-up brake system has malfunctioned, the driver may continue to operate the vehicle as normal, and if the primary brake system system also fails, braking performance would be reduced increasing the risk of a crash.

Automotive Innovations, Inc.

(AII) is recalling certain Electronic Gas/Brake (EGB) systems, produced from January 1, 2000, through July 11, 2012, installed as adaptive equipment on motor vehicles.

The equipment was produced without an adequate back-up brake diagnostic system.

As such, it may be possible for the driver to operate the vehicle without knowing the back-up brake is malfunctioning.

What the record doesn’t say

  • NHTSA’s recall file doesn’t say whether anyone was hurt.
  • Which ones, by part or lot: the recall’s report on NHTSA’s site gives them where the maker did; this file gives part numbers only where its maker listed them.
  • How many have been returned or fixed isn’t in the notice.
