  • Child Seats: Equipment: Safety Defect/Noncompliance Notices Received During May 2013
    SAFETY DEFECT/NONCOMPLIANCE NOTICES RECEIVED DURING MAY 2013 Published June 11, 2013 CHILD SEATS: None during May 2013. EQUIPMENT: Koni North America (KONI) is recalling certain shock absorbers with model numbers 8245-1146L, 8245- 1146R, 8245-1201L, 8245-1201R, 8245-1203L, and 8245-1203R. These shock absorbers were manufactured January 2008 through April 2013. The affected absorbers were manufactured with an incorrectly welded bracket which may cause the shock absorber to bend and rest on the drive shaft. A bent shock absorber may compromise vehicle handling, increasing the risk of a crash. KONI will notify distributors and advise them to contact their customers of the recall. The shock absorbers will be replaced free of charge. The recall began on May 16, 2013. Customers may contact KONI at 1-800-209-3350. 13E-023 Dorman is recalling certain master cylinders, model number M630274-BX, manufactured by Bosch. The brake fluid level indicator (FLI) may not properly detect a low brake fluid level situation and warn the driver. If the brake system develops an external leak, it may result in a loss of brake fluid below the detection level of the fluid indicator switch. Without a warning, the driver may be unaware that the brake fluid level is low. A low brake fluid level may reduce the available braking force which could lengthen the required stopping distance and increase the risk of a crash. Dorman will notify owners and Bosch will replace the fluid level indicator switch free of charge. The recall is expected to begin during June 2013. Owners may contact Dorman Customer Service at 1-800-523-2492.

  • Electric Vehicles: 10 Predictions for 2014
    WHITE PAPER Electric Vehicles: 10 Predictions for 2014 Published 1Q 2014 John Gartner Research Director Electric Vehicles: 10 Predictions for 2014 Section 1 INTRODUCTION During 2014, the global electric vehicle (EV) industry is poised to grow by 86% and will surpass more than 346,000 new vehicles sold. North America, Europe, and Asia Pacific will continue to drive EV sales, as the technology will have only limited availability in the emerging markets of Latin America and Africa. The selection of models will increase as luxury automakers Audi, BMW, Cadillac, Mercedes, Saab, and Volvo will all introduce their first plug-in cars. These vehicles will expand the higher end of the market while also putting competitive pressure on Tesla Motors. More affordable options will also be introduced by Kia, Mahindra, Skoda, and Volkswagen, which will bring new customers to these established companies. Nissan’s upcoming electric van, the e-NV200, will give fleets a new option for reducing their carbon emissions footprint. Increasing interest in natural gas for the truck segment will continue to reduce the opportunity for EVs in that segment, though a few companies will likely announce their intent to develop a plug-in electric truck by year’s end. Electric alternatives to owning a passenger car will continue to impact the automotive market. EVs will play a supporting role in carsharing programs, while many younger urbanites will opt for electric bikes, scooters, and motorcycles as cost-effective and easier-to-park vehicles. Local governments will continue to provide incentives to reduce the number of cars burning gasoline or diesel in cities, which will result in tangible air quality benefits.

  • Market Update
    First Quarter 2012 MARKET UPDATE New Cars Available … Batteries Included Every once in a while at North Sky we get to do something beyond the normal routine of research, meeting with companies or fund managers, or deciphering wind velocity test results and the like. A few weeks ago we got to drive a Fisker Karma – a $107,000 luxury Batmobile. For the uninitiated, the Karma is a four-door, four-passenger sporty daily driver…and it is a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) that can go 50 miles on battery power alone and another 200 miles using a gasoline-powered generator. You can drive across country in this car, without an extension cord. It does 0-60 MPH in 6 seconds, corners like an Indy Car and is strangely, magnificently silent. It instantly induces a big grin on anyone who buckles in and stomps on the gas pedal (electron pedal?). Driving the Karma was a blast. We had a similar experience in 2008 when we got to drive a traffic-stopping, sunburst orange Tesla Roadster in downtown San Francisco before the car was available to the general public. But that is another story. Anyway, we grinned until our face muscles were sore at the Fisker dealership. Mostly because the Karma was so impressive but also because it made us realize that the faster, lighter and roomier Tesla Model S that hits the streets in July is going to be every bit as incredible and at roughly half the price. The Tesla is a pure electric vehicle (EV), as opposed to a PHEV like the Karma which adds a combustion engine to power the battery or to turn the wheels.
