💥 Crash riskNHTSA 11V189📅 Mar 24, 2011

2004–2009 E-Ton PN2B/BEAMER 50 & 2000–2003 E-Ton PN2 + 5 more recall: electrical system

⚠️ What's wrong

E-ton is recalling certain model year 1999-2010 50CC and 150CC, beamer I, beamer II, beamer III, and model year 2007-2010 50CC and 150CC Matrix motorcycles. The engine on/off switch should be located on the right side handlebar. The high/low beam light switch should be located on the left handlebar. These switch locations are reversed on the models listed above. The vehicles, therefore, fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 213, "motorcycle controls and displays."

💥 The risk

The rider may get confused while using the handlebar switches causing the scooter to lose power during operation increasing the risk of a crash.

🔧 The fix

Dealers will repair the scooters and reverse the function switch locations free of charge. Owner notifications are expected to be issued shortly. Owners may contact e-ton at 1-866-224-3318.

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.)
