Your headlight assembly is the part that helps you see the road and warns other drivers. This recall affects aftermarket headlight assemblies that were installed on various vehicles, and they don't meet safety standards because they're missing amber side reflectors.
Risk if Unfixed
If you're driving at night and the amber side reflectors are missing, it could be harder for other drivers to see your vehicle, and that could lead to a collision.
Free Fix
Dope, Inc. will give you a full refund for the faulty headlight assembly. You should contact Dope, Inc. at 1-626-272-1798 to arrange for the refund.
