ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Electrical circuits that overheat increase the risk of a fire.
9 safety recall campaigns, 1 defect investigation (1 open).
Complaints are reports from owners of this model year, not findings about any particular vehicle, and a model that sold in large numbers will collect more of them. They are counted here as filed; nothing is inferred from them.
Electrical circuits that overheat increase the risk of a fire.
A loss of power steering and/or drive power increases the risk of a crash.
The accumulation of liquid inside the battery pack enclosure increases the risk of a fire.
A loose steering gearbox can cause a loss of steering control, increasing the risk of a crash.
The rear door may open without the driver's awareness, increasing the risk of injury.
An unsecured steering gear box could cause the driver to lose the ability to steer the vehicle, increasing the risk of crash or injury.
Two 2019 PROTERRA CATALYSTs can have entirely different histories, and a recall campaign usually covers a build-date window rather than a whole model year — which a VIN does not encode, so only the door-jamb label settles it. Scanning the VIN adds the decode, the crash tests, the fuel economy and the complaints matched to that exact engine, trim and assembly plant.
