OFFICIAL NHTSA RECALL
23V678000
Electrical System: Instrument Cluster/panel
Reported Oct 9, 2023 · Lightning eMotors Inc.
Summary
Lightning eMotors Inc. (Lightning eMotors) is recalling certain 2021-2022 FT3-40, 2021-2023 FT3-80, and 2022-2023 FT3-120 vehicles. The instrument cluster may not activate the "Brake," "Park," and "ABS" indicator warning lights during the light function check when the ignition is turned to the "on" (run) position. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 105, "Hydraulic and Electric Brake Systems."
Consequence
Failure to illuminate the indicator warning lights during vehicle startup may not properly notify the driver of system failures, increasing the risk of a crash.
