EXTERIOR LIGHTING Safety Recalls

Moderate #09E012000 Plain English
Component

EXTERIOR LIGHTING

Manufacturer
SABERSPORT
What Happened
The corner and bumper lamp assemblies on your vehicle are the lights that attach to the front and rear of your car. In some aftermarket lamps sold for your vehicle, the amber side reflectors are missing, which is a safety requirement.
Risk if Unfixed
Without the amber side reflectors, your vehicle's side lighting may be less visible to other drivers, especially at night or in low-light conditions. This could lead to a vehicle crash.
Free Fix
Your dealer will provide a full refund for the non-compliant lamps, so you won't need to pay a thing. Simply contact the lamp manufacturer, Sabersport, at 1-909-598-7589 to arrange the refund.
