Potential Number of Units Affected 156
Summary
Erwin Hymer Group North America, Inc. dba American Fastbacks (American Fastbacks) is recalling certain 2017-2018 Badlands, Force Recon, Stryker, and Defcon models of modified-Jeep Wrangler vehicles. These vehicles may be between 400 and 600 pounds above the allowable Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) due to the replacement parts that were installed on the vehicle which increased the overall weight.
Remedy
The remedy for this recall is still under development. Owners were notified by mail beginning April 18, 2019. Owners may contact Erwin Hymer customer service at 1-844-533-7997 extension 301.
Notes
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.
NHTSA 19V190 Recall Remedy Update:
Fiat Chrysler Automobiles’ (“FCA”) Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) for the 2017 and 2018 Jeep Wrangler models (Sport/Sahara and Rubicon) are 5500 lbs. and 5700 lbs., respectively. Erwin Hymer Group USA L.P. d/b/a American Fastbacks Jeep (the “Company”) upfitted certain 2017 and 2018 Jeep Wranglers models with heavy aftermarket parts including, but not limited to, off-road bumpers, a heavy-duty winch, mud-terrain tires and wheels, and dual electric running boards ( the “Vehicles”). These after-market upgrades resulted in the GVWR of the Vehicles being exceeded by anywhere from 200 to 300 lbs. (after taking into consideration the vehicle weight, fluids, driver weight, and passenger weight). The current base weight of the Vehicles are shown below in Figure 1. These Vehicles are subject to NHTSA Recall 19V190.
To remedy the issue with the weight of these Vehicles, the following remedy plan will be implemented on Vehicles currently in the Company’s possession, as well as Vehicles that the Company recovers from consumers and dealers.[1] The rear seating positions will be removed in each Vehicle to increase the occupant and cargo carrying capacity (OCCC). This will make at least 450 lbs. of OCCC available in these vehicles while keeping all heavy aftermarket parts and ensuring GVWR is met.
Before transferring title to these Vehicles, the Vehicles will be re-weighed to ensure that the GVWR is acceptable. In addition, to the extent necessary, the Vehicle tire placard will be updated. As shown in Figure 1 below, the Vehicles will be weighed on the following weigh station.
[1] The Company is currently in active bankruptcy. The Company is in the process of obtaining possession of certain Vehicles acquired by consumers pre-recall, and certain Vehicles from dealers that had not been paid for by such dealers or their respective floor plan finance lenders. Other dealer claims related to the Vehicles may be addressed in the bankruptcy proceeding.
