What is wrong
E-ride Industries (E-ride) is recalling certain model year 2005-2016 EXV2 electric utility vehicles manufactured March 1, 2005, to July 29, 2016, and EXV4 electric utility vehicles manufactured March 3, 2005, to July 19, 2016. The affected vehicles may not be equipped with a red reflector on the back of the vehicle. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 500, "Low Speed Vehicles."
What can happen
A missing red reflector on the rear vehicle can make the vehicle less visible to other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
E-ride will notify owners, and dealers will install a red reflector to both corners of the rear bumper, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin in September 2016. Owners may contact E-ride customer service at 1-800-950-4351.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
