ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:SOFTWARE
- The defect
- Tropos Technologies, Inc. (Tropos) is recalling certain 2019 Tropos ABLE ST vehicles. The motor controller firmware may not prevent the vehicle from exceeding 25 mph. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 500, "Low Speed Vehicles."
- What it can cause
- Driving over 25 mph in a low speed vehicle increases the risk of injury during a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Tropos will notify owners, and dealers will update the motor controller firmware, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed beginning April 26, 2021. Owners may contact Tropos customer service at 1-408-571-6104. Tropos number for this recall is TRO-21-02.
- NHTSA's note
- 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.safercar.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 72 vehicles this is a small campaign: 74% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers one model year, 2019, so the oldest vehicles on it were 2 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Tropos Technologies, Inc. with NHTSA on April 13, 2021 as campaign 21V261000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
