The problem
The Pilotcar EV INC (Pilotcar) is recalling certain 2021-2023 PC-2, PC-4, and PC-6 low speed electric vehicles. The pedestrian warning sound system was not installed. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard numbers 141, "Minimum Sound Requirements for Hybrid and Electric Vehicles" and 500, "Low Speed Vehicles."
The risk
A vehicle that does not make warning sounds cannot alert pedestrians to the approaching vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Pilotcar will install a pedestrian warning sound system with a digital sound generator, amplifier, and two speakers, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed December 28, 2023. Owners may contact Pilotcar customer service at 1-239-243-8023. Pilotcar's number for this recall is PC-2023-03.

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.nhtsa.gov.
