It looks like the little Indian built G-Wiz electric car is in trouble again in England. If the seemingly almost complete lack of crash worthiness and barely sufficient room for a pair of adults wasn't enough to deter customers from considering one, there is now a new reason. The vehicles are being recalled because of a fire risk due to a component in the charging unit. According to UK distributor GoinGreen, over 900 of the vehicles have been sold since 2004 and 629 of them are affected by the recall.
