2019 Tropos Able ST recall: electrical system
⚠️ What's wrong
Tropos Technologies, Inc. (Tropos) is recalling certain 2019 Tropos ABLE ST vehicles. The motor controller firmware may not prevent the vehicle from exceeding 25 mph. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 500, "Low Speed Vehicles."
💥 The risk
Driving over 25 mph in a low speed vehicle increases the risk of injury during a crash.
🔧 The fix
Tropos will notify owners, and dealers will update the motor controller firmware, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed beginning April 26, 2021. Owners may contact Tropos customer service at 1-408-571-6104. Tropos number for this recall is TRO-21-02.
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.)
