The defect
SEA Electric LLC (SEA Electric) is recalling certain 2023-2025 SEA Electric 5e, 2020-2022 Ford F59, 2020 Hino 195, and 2019 Isuzu NRR vehicles equipped with certain software versions from December 2022 and earlier. The battery management system (BMS) software can cause the high-voltage battery to shut down, resulting in a loss of drive power.
The risk
A loss of drive power increases the risk of a crash.
The remedy
Dealers will update the BMS software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed July 24, 2024. Owners may contact SEA-Electric customer service at 1-833-732-3532.
Notes
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
