The problem
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.
Notes
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
