2010–2011 Fairplay EVE LSV recall: electrical system
⚠️ What's wrong
Fairplay is recalling certain model year 2010 and 2011 EVE LSV electric low speed vehicles manufactured from july 31, 2009, through december 27, 2010. A fuse specified to be in the 12V accessory circuit was not built into the wiring harness. The fuse value on the input to the voltage reducer was too large to prevent possible damage. There was no fuse inserted in the 12 volt circuit.
💥 The risk
Without this fuse for protection, a short in any portion of the 12V wiring CAN melt wire insulation and pose the risk of a fire.
🔧 The fix
Fairplay will notify owners and dealers will repair the vehicles free of charge. The safety recall began on february 22, 2011. Owners may contact fairplay at 1-866-557-0342.
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.)
