What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a risk-of-harm product where the defect impairs visibility and increases crash risk, but the source text does not report any specific injuries or fatalities, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products without reported injury.

Plain-English summary

Think North America, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2011 Think City vehicles. The recall addresses poor performance in the vehicles' fluid heater assemblies, which could cause the heater-defroster system to fail to perform properly. This failure results in a loss of the vehicle's ability to clear the windshield in cold or humid conditions.

The defect could impair the driver's ability to view the road ahead, increasing the risk of a crash. The source text does not report any specific injuries, fatalities, or number of affected units beyond the model year and make.

Dealers will inspect and, if needed, replace the defroster system free of charge. The safety recall was expected to begin during February 2011. Owners may contact Think's authorized toll-free service line at 1-855-698-4465 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
