2007 Gem NEV recall: brakes
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain low-speed 2, 4, or 6-PASSENGER short, long and long bed xd electric vehicles, an insufficient weld on the hand park lever brake assembly (parking brake) may fail. This failure causes a total loss of parking brake hold.
💥 The risk
A failure of the parking brake will allow the vehicle to roll away if it is parked on an incline, creating the risk of a crash or injury.
🔧 The fix
Gem will replace the parking brake assembly on all affected vehicles. The recall began on november 26, 2007. Owners may contact gem at 1-866-764-0616.
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.)
