What was wrong

Defect

Bluecar SAS (Bluecar) is recalling certain model year 2016 Bluecar hybrid-electric vehicles manufactured June 7, 2015, to September 11, 2015. The affected vehicles have a gear shift lever that may break preventing the car from maintaining the intended gear position.

Risk

If the gear shift lever breaks, the vehicle may become immobilized, increasing the risk of a crash.

Manufacturer remedy

Bluecar has notified the one purchaser of the affected vehicles and the remedy of replacing the gear shift with a newly designed gear lever has begun, free of charge.
