| RECALL SUBJECT:: Passenger Toe-board Lacks Stiffness/FMVSS 208 Report Receipt Date: APR 02, 2019 NHTSA Campaign Number: 19V263000 Component(s):: STRUCTURE Potential Number of Units Affected: 425 Manufacturer: Lotus Cars Limited MAY 2019 -- Lotus Cars USA, Inc. (Lotus) is recalling certain 2017-2018 Evora vehicles. The toe board in the passenger footwell lacks stiffness, allowing the knee of an unbelted occupant to contact the rigid structure of the vehicle, in the event of a crash. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 208, "Occupant Crash Protection." In the event of a crash, if the occupant's knee contacts the rigid structure, there may be an increased risk of injury. Lotus will notify owners, and dealers will replace the toe board with a new design to provide the appropriate stiffness, free of charge. Lotus' number for this recall is 2019/01R. 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. |
