Waev, who is the current parent company of Global Electric Motorcars (GEM), has indicated to me that they are no longer responsible for performing NHTSA Recall # 06V-222000. The reason provided is the recall was issued in a safety bulletin from 2011, and Waev is claiming they are no longer liable for this recall due to the lack of available parts from reputable suppliers. I am aware of at least 2 reputable suppliers that have the kit available but Waev is refusing to order the kit from them. I am ready to file a Class Action Lawsuit. Before I proceed, I want to confirm that Waev is still liable for this safety recall, and that it does not expire. I don’t want my vehicle catching on fi
