What's wrong?
The acoustic vehicle alerting system on these 2024-2026 Denago Ev vehicles is the outside sound system that warns pedestrians when the vehicle is moving. Quiet electric vehicles do not give people the same engine noise cue as a gasoline vehicle, so the alert sound helps people nearby hear that the vehicle is approaching or moving through a shared space.
On affected Nomad Xl, Rover Xl, Rover XL6, Rover Xxl, Scout 2, Scout 4, and Nomad vehicles, that alert sound system does not meet the required setup. Denago Ev traced the issue to a development process deviation, and its review found vehicles that were delivered without the acoustic vehicle alerting system installed or without the required minimum pedestrian alert sound volume.
The driver will not receive a warning sign from the vehicle. What you notice is the absence of the pedestrian warning sound outside the vehicle when it is in motion.

What's the safety risk?
A vehicle without the required alert sound gives pedestrians less notice that it is moving, increasing the risk of a crash or injury. The driver gets no warning, so use extra care around people, crosswalks, and parking areas until the remedy is installed. Repair will be free at any franchised Denago Ev dealer once available.

What happens at the repair
The final repair is still under development, so do not treat this as a ready-to-schedule dealer visit yet.
