CarRecallWatch- Component
- ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:BODY CONTROL MODULE:SOFTWARE; EXTERIOR LIGHTING:TURN SIGNAL
- Problem
- Electra Meccanica Vehicles Corp (ElectraMeccanica) is recalling certain 2021 Solo vehicles. In the event of a rear turn signal wire harness short-circuit, the flashing frequency of the unaffected turn signal lights would not change, failing to alert the driver that a turn signal has failed. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."
- Risk
- Driving without a functional rear turn signal can increase the risk of a crash.
- Remedy
- ElectraMeccanica will update the body control module software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed June 22, 2022. Owners may contact ElectraMeccanica customer service at 1-888-457-SOLO. ElectraMeccanica's number for this recall is 22SC01.
- Notes
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
What this recall means for you
A short circuit in the rear turn signal wiring can cause one turn signal to stop working while the other keeps flashing at its normal rate. Because the flashing pattern does not change, the driver is not alerted that a turn signal has failed, which can make it harder for other drivers to see the vehicle's intentions.
A rear turn signal that is not working increases the risk of a crash. The fix is a software update to the body control module, provided free of charge by ElectraMeccanica at an authorized dealer. Owners can contact ElectraMeccanica customer service at 1-888-457-SOLO. Check your VIN for open recalls to see whether your vehicle is affected.
