Chronology :
On 11/28/2023 Mete Timur president of PILOTCAR EV, Inc. (Florida-USA) contacted MIROX Corporation via email about FMVSS #500 compliance testing.
Miro Kefurt President of MIROX Corporation subsequently called Mr. Timur. During the phone conversation Mr. Timur disclosed that PILOTAR EV, Inc. has been assembling golf carts from “kit” that were supplied to and imported by PILOTCAR (Florida-USA) from PILOTCAR OTOMOTIV SAN. TIC. A.S. [Manufacturer ID 20932] (Turkey) and then assembled in Florida by PILOTCAR (Florida-USA) into completed vehicles.
There was no distinction between “Golf Cart” or “LSV”, therefore at this time it is unknown how many vehicles were actually sold by Dealers as LSV and registered for use on public roads. Mr. Timur and Mr. Kefurt had in person meeting in Las Vegas on 12/1/2023 and Mr. Timur provided some vehicle images. Also Mr. Kefurt looked at Dealer websites. The images of the PILOTCAR vehicles designated as LSV did not appear to have the required by FMVSS #500 & #111 Rear View System (Camera and Monitor).
It was therefore determined by Mr. Kefurt that a recall of the vehicles that were sold as LSV needs to be initiated. Due to the fact that PILOTCAR assembled and sold the vehicles in USA, Mr. Timur decided that PILOTCAR EV, Inc. should be responsible for the vehicles and recall them. PILOTCAR (Florida-USA) has been registered with NHTSA on 12/1/2023 [Manufacturer ID 23039] and the Recall Account was finalized on 12/7/2023.
