Plain-English summary

Pilotcar EV Inc. is recalling certain 2021-2023 PC-2, PC-4, and PC-6 vehicles. The recall involves 265 vehicles that were manufactured without the required rearview camera and monitor. As a result, these vehicles fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard numbers 111, "Rear Visibility," and 500, "Low Speed Vehicles."

The absence of the rearview camera system reduces the driver's rear visibility, which increases the risk of a crash. No specific injuries or fatalities are reported in the source text.

Dealers will install a rearview camera and monitor free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on December 28, 2023. Owners may contact Pilotcar customer service at 1-239-243-8023 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
