Defect
Pilotcar EV INC. (Pilotcar) is recalling certain 2021-2023 PC-2, PC-4, and PC-6 low speed electric vehicles. The red rear reflectors may detach from the vehicle. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 500, "Low Speed Vehicles."
Safety risk
A missing reflector reduces the vehicle's visibility to other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.
