Recall 11V039 affects 1,621 2010-2011 Fairplay Eve Lsv vehicles with missing 12V circuit fuse protection. Repair is free at any franchised Fairplay dealer.
Fairplay is recalling 1,621 2010-2011 Eve Lsv electric low speed vehicles because the 12V accessory circuit was built without the required fuse and the voltage reducer input fuse was too large to prevent damage. Without that protection, a wiring short can melt insulation and raise the risk of a fire; the Fairplay dealer repair will be free once available.

What's wrong?
The wiring harness in the 2010-2011 Fairplay Eve Lsv routes power through the vehicle's electrical system. The 12V accessory circuit powers lower-voltage equipment, and a fuse is supposed to protect that circuit by opening when current rises beyond the safe limit. The voltage reducer helps step battery power down for those accessories.
On affected Eve Lsv low speed vehicles, the harness was built without the specified fuse in the 12V accessory circuit. The fuse value on the input to the voltage reducer was also too large to protect the circuit as intended. If an electrical fault or overload occurs, the circuit stays exposed instead of being cut off at the right point, which can damage wiring or connected electrical parts.
There is no warning sign before failure. Because this defect is in the wiring protection, the recall does not describe a sound, light, smell, or drivability symptom that appears first.

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether this recall applies to your specific vehicle.
What's the safety risk?
Without the fuse protection, a short in the 12V wiring can melt wire insulation and create a fire risk. If your VIN is included, keep using caution and arrange the recall repair with the dealer. Repair will be free at any franchised Fairplay dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2010-2011 Fairplay Eve Lsv is included in this recall.
- Contact Fairplay at 1-866-557-0342 to ask about the free dealer repair for recall number 11V039.
- Ask the dealer to install the missing 12-volt accessory-circuit fuse that protects the wiring from short-circuit damage.
- Bring the recall notice if Fairplay mailed one, or give the dealer recall number 11V039 when you call.
- Drive cautiously until the repair is complete, and stop in a safe place if you smell burning insulation or see smoke.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Fairplay technician repairs the missing fuse protection in the 12 volt accessory circuit and checks the voltage reducer input fuse called out in the recall. The filing says Fairplay began owner notification on February 22, 2011, and that dealers repair the vehicles free of charge. Because the current remedy status is not listed, confirm the repair path before arranging service. The dealer repair will be free once available.
