- 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.
- What it can cause
- A loss of drive power increases the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- 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.
- 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.
Which vehicles

How this campaign compares
At 174 vehicles this is a small campaign: 63% 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 model years 2019 to 2025, so the oldest vehicles on it were 5 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 SEA Electric LLC with NHTSA on June 25, 2024 as campaign 24V475000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
