What is wrong
ON CERTAIN LOW SPEED VEHICLES, THREE BOLTS ON THE BACK OF THE POWER SIGNAL DISTRIBUTION MODULE (PSDM) MAY NOT HAVE BEEN TIGHTENED PROPERLY WHICH COULD CAUSE A TOTAL LOSS OF POWER TO THE VEHICLE.
What can happen
A LOSS OF POWER WILL RENDER THE CAR INOPERATIVE AND, IF IT HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING, CAN RENDER THE VEHICLE A ROAD HAZARD. ADDITIONALLY, LOSS OF HEADLAMP, TAIL LAMP OR TURN SIGNAL LAMP FUNCTIONS COULD LIMIT THE VEHICLE'S VISIBILITY TO OTHER DRIVERS, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
DEALERS WILL INSPECT AND REPLACE, AS NECESSARY, THE POWER SIGNAL DISTRIBUTION MODULE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON OCTOBER 3, 2006. OWNERS MAY CONTACT GLOBAL ELECTRIC AT 1-888-871-4367.

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.
