TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 E-TON PN2B/BEAMER 50. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN THE RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 11V189000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:SWITCH). AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WAS NOTIFIED AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO ORDER THE NECESSARY PARTS TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. AFTER APPROXIMATELY TWO MONTHS, THE PARTS WERE STILL UNAVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE, AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE PARTS WOULD BE SHIPPED TO THE DEALERS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.
E-TON IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 1999-2010 50CC AND 150CC, BEAMER I, BEAMER II, BEAMER III, AND MODEL YEAR 2007-2010 50CC AND 150CC MATRIX MOTORCYCLES. THE ENGINE ON/OFF SWITCH SHOULD BE LOCATED ON THE RIGHT SIDE HANDLEBAR. THE HIGH/LOW BEAM LIGHT SWITCH SHOULD BE LOCATED ON THE LEFT HANDLEBAR. THESE SWITCH LOCATIONS ARE REVERSED ON THE MODELS LISTED ABOVE. THE VEHICLES, THEREFORE, FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 213, "MOTORCYCLE CONTROLS AND DISPLAYS."
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THE RIDER MAY GET CONFUSED WHILE USING THE HANDLEBAR SWITCHES CAUSING THE SCOOTER TO LOSE POWER DURING OPERATION INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPAIR THE SCOOTERS AND REVERSE THE FUNCTION SWITCH LOCATIONS FREE OF CHARGE. OWNER NOTIFICATIONS ARE EXPECTED TO BE ISSUED SHORTLY. OWNERS MAY CONTACT E-TON AT 1-866-224-3318.
