NHTSA #13V398000Reported September 3, 2013 · Oreion Motors LLC.
Defect description
Oreion Motors LLC (Oreion) is recalling certain model year 2011-2013 Reeper low speed vehicles. The affected vehicles may exceed the maximum permitted speed of 25 mph.

Additionally, the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) of the vehicle was incorrectly listed on the certification label which is a violation of Part 567, "Certification."
Safety consequence
Ungoverned speed, missing rear reflectors and an incorrect GVWR all increase the risk of a crash.
