EXTERIOR LIGHTING

Manufacturer
PRO-A MOTORS, INC.
What Happened
Your vehicle's exterior lighting system includes corner lamps, turn signals, and headlights. The recall affects replacement lamps sold by Pro-A Motors that don't have amber side reflectors, which help make your vehicle visible to other drivers.
Risk if Unfixed

Free Fix
Pro-A Motors will contact you to offer a refund for the non-compliant lamps. You'll need to reach out to them at 323-838-2988 to initiate the recall process.
