ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:SOFTWARE
- The defect
- Lonestar Specialty Vehicles is recalling certain 2021-2023 SV Hybrid Electric S22 terminal tractors. The Vehicle Control Unit (VCU) may disable the Battery Management System (BMS) isolation measurement feature, preventing the detection of a high voltage battery pack malfunction.
- What it can cause
- An operator may be unaware of a high voltage battery pack malfunction, increasing the risk of a fire.
- What the dealer does
- Lonestar Specialty Vehicles has released an over-the-air (OTA) VCU software update, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed January 19, 2024. Owners may contact Lonestar customer service at 1-903-306-0801.
- 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.nhtsa.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner. This one is fixed by a software update rather than a workshop visit.
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.
| Vehicle | Model years | Safety record |
|---|---|---|
| Lonestar SV Electric S22 | 2021 to 2023 | Not published here |
How this campaign compares
At 13 vehicles this is a small campaign: 90% of the 17,259 vehicle recalls with a published size filed from 1995 up to this one are as large or larger. The middle campaign among them covers 478. It covers model years 2021 to 2023, 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 Lonestar Specialty Vehicles with NHTSA on November 14, 2023 as campaign 23V768000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
