What this recall means for you
Some 2021-2023 Pilotcar PC-2, PC-4, and PC-6 vehicles were built without a rearview camera and monitor. Without this equipment, the driver has reduced visibility behind the vehicle, and the vehicles do not meet federal rear visibility requirements (FMVSS 111 and 500).
Reduced rear visibility increases the risk of a crash, particularly a backover collision with a person or object behind the vehicle that the driver cannot see.
Pilotcar will have dealers install a rearview camera and monitor at no cost to you. Owner notification letters were mailed December 28, 2023. If you have questions, contact Pilotcar customer service at 1-239-243-8023 and reference recall PC-2023-02. You can also check your VIN for open recalls.
