Manufacturer: Directed, LLC
Date of Owner Notification: July 24th, 2014

Defect Summary:
Directed, LLC (Directed) is recalling certain remote start systems and interface modules. The affected devices may experience a condition that may shut down the vehicle if the on/off button on a remote start, or phone system application is depressed while the engine is on and the vehicle brake is subsequently applied.

Consequence Summary:
An engine shut down while a vehicle is in motion increases the risk of a crash due to, among other things, a sudden loss of motive power and loss of power steering and braking capability. In addition, safety systems such as air bags are deactivated, increasing the risk of injury in the event of a crash.
