2006 Gem NEV recall: electrical system
⚠️ What's 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.
💥 The risk
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
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.
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.)
