Turtle Top — ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL

Is my product affected?

2019 TURTLE TOP ODYSSEY

  • Brand TURTLE TOP

Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.

What happened

Turtle Top is recalling certain 2019 Turtle Top Odyssey vehicles built on GMC Savana and Chevrolet Express chassis due to a problem with the seatbelt warning system. In these vehicles, the seatbelt-unfastened warning light does not illuminate for approximately five seconds after the ignition is turned to the "on" or "start" position. This defect means drivers may forget to fasten their seatbelts, increasing the risk of injury in a crash, and causes the vehicles to fail to meet federal safety standards.

To remedy the issue, Turtle Top will notify owners and GM dealers will reprogram the instrument panel cluster at no charge. The recall is expected to begin in April 2020. Owners of affected vehicles should contact Turtle Top customer service at 1-800-296-2105.
