2019–2020 Tropos Able recall: backup camera
⚠️ What's wrong
Tropos Technologies, Inc. (Tropos) is recalling certain 2019-2020 Able low-speed vehicles. The back-up camera may not provide a sufficient view angle. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 111, "Rear Visibility."
💥 The risk
The reduced view angle of the back-up camera display increases the risk of a crash or back-over incident.
🔧 The fix
Tropos will notify owners, and dealers will replace the camera, free of any charge. The recall began July 24, 2020. Owners may contact Tropos customer service at 1-408-571-6104. Tropos' number for this recall is TRO-20-01.
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.)
