ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL Recall

Lightning eMotors Inc. (Lightning eMotors) is recalling certain 2021-2022 FT3-40, 2021-2023 FT3-80, and 2022-2023 FT3-120 vehicles. The instrument cluster may not activate the "Brake," "Park," and "ABS" indicator warning lights during the light function check when the ignition is turned to the "on" (run) position. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 105, "Hydraulic and Electric Brake Systems."

Remedy: Dealers will update the software, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed December 1, 2023. Owners may contact Lightning eMotors customer service at 1-970-744-7241.

Complaint counts are reports filed with NHTSA, not failure rates. A common model collects more of them than a rare one that breaks more often.
