What’s wrong with it?

THE “BATTERY BUDDY” SYSTEM IS DESIGNED TO LIMIT THE AMOUNT OF RESERVE BATTERY POWER.

INSTALLATION IN THESE CONVERSION VANS CAN CAUSE THE BATTERY TO SHORT AT ANY TIME.

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.
