2021 Electrameccanica Solo G3: Electrical System recall
NHTSA campaign 22V307000 · 129 units potentially affected · filed May 6, 2022
What's wrong
Electra Meccanica Vehicles Corp (ElectraMeccanica) is recalling certain 2021 Solo vehicles. In the event of a rear turn signal wire harness short-circuit, the flashing frequency of the unaffected turn signal lights would not change, failing to alert the driver that a turn signal has failed. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."
Why it matters
Driving without a functional rear turn signal can increase the risk of a crash.

ElectraMeccanica will update the body control module software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed June 22, 2022. Owners may contact ElectraMeccanica customer service at 1-888-457-SOLO. ElectraMeccanica's number for this recall is 22SC01.
