The problem

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.

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.
