Defect. Lightning eMotors Inc. (LeM) is recalling certain 2022 FT3 and FE4 vehicles. The digital instrument panel may fail to illuminate the "BRAKE" and "ABS" warning lights when a low brake fluid error or an ABS system error is detected. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards number 101, "Control and Displays" and 105, "Hydraulic and Electric Brake Systems."

Risk. The driver may not be warned of low brake fluid or an ABS malfunction should the warning lights fail to illuminate, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy. LeM will update the instrument panel software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed November 22, 2022. Owners may contact LeM customer service at 1-970-744-7241. LeM's number for this recall is 2022-001.

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
