Tracker Off Road OX EV Light Utility Vehicles Recalled for Fire Hazard

About 500 Tracker Off Road OX EV vehicles are being recalled due to water entering the lithium-ion battery pack, which can cause a fire. No injuries have been reported.

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 2/5 (Moderate).

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: The source explicitly states no injuries or illnesses have been reported. While water intrusion into a battery pack creates a theoretical fire risk, the absence of any reported harm and the availability of a straightforward remedy (free inspection and repair) place this in the Moderate category per the rubric criterion for voluntary precautionary recalls with no reported incidents.
