What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Storyteller Overland, LLC (Storyteller) is recalling certain 2023 Stealth, Classic, and Beast Mode vehicles equipped with AWD. Improperly routed coolant lines may overheat the engine, causing a loss of drive power.

The risk

A loss of drive power increases the risk of a crash.

The remedy

Dealers will remove the secondary heat exchanger loop, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed June 24, 2026. Owners may contact Storyteller customer service at 1-888-999-7442.

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.
