💥 Crash riskNHTSA 06V222📅 Jun 21, 2006

2000–2004 Gem NEV recall: electrical system

⚠️ What's wrong

On certain 2 and 4 passenger, short and long bed low speed vehicles, the 12 volt output from the auxiliary card circuit board (a DC voltage to DC voltage converter) may become inoperative and result in loss of headlamp, tail lamp and turn signal lamp functions.

💥 The risk

A loss of headlamps could impair a driver's visibility, increasing the risk of a crash. If there is a loss of tail lamp or turn signal lamp function, a following driver may not know when the brakes have been applied or that the vehicle in front is turning, a rear-end crash could occur without prior warning.

🔧 The fix

Dealers will replace the auxiliary cards, install a splash/spray protection, and adjust the dash seal free of charge. The recall began on september 11, 2006. Owners may contact global electric at 888-871-4367.

Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
