2019–2022 Motiv F-53 BEV Chassis & 2019–2022 Motiv F-59 BEV Chassis recall: body & structure
⚠️ What's wrong
Motiv Power Systems, Inc. (Motiv) is recalling certain 2019-2022 F-53 and F-59 vehicles equipped with a Motiv Gen 5 EPIC powertrain. A support bracket may fatigue and break, allowing the main power disconnect to contact other structures and short.
💥 The risk
An electrical short can shut down the high voltage system, resulting in a loss of drive power and increasing the risk of a crash.
🔧 The fix
Motiv field support technicians will replace the bracket, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed June 9, 2025. Owners may contact Motiv customer service at 1-650-458-4804.
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.)
