SUMMARY

EV-Charge America Ltd. (EVCA) is recalling certain electric vehicle charging stations produced from May 15, 2009, through August 15, 2012. Due to an improper relay, the electrical lead that connects to the vehicle may be energized even when the charging station is turned off.


CONSEQUENCE

A user could suffer an electrical shock or electrocution should they contact the electrical lead. This risk may exist even when the charging station is turned off.

REMEDY

EV-Charge America will notify owners and the units can be returned for repair or an EVCA technician will repair the unit(s) onsite, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin in September 2012. Owners may contact EVCA at 1-702-278-8005.

SUMMARY

Automotive Innovations, Inc. (AII) is recalling certain Electronic Gas/Brake (EGB) systems, produced from January 1, 2000, through July 11, 2012, installed as adaptive equipment on motor vehicles. The equipment was produced without an adequate back-up brake diagnostic system. As such, it may be possible for the driver to operate the vehicle without knowing the back-up brake is malfunctioning.


CONSEQUENCE

Without the driver being alerted that the back-up brake system has malfunctioned, the driver may continue to operate the vehicle as normal, and if the primary brake system system also fails, braking performance would be reduced increasing the risk of a crash.

REMEDY

AII will notify owners and repair the vehicles free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided the agency with a notification schedule. Owners may cantact AII at 1-508-697-6006.
