Component
EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS
Manufacturer
DOPE, INC.
What Happened
The headlight assembly on your vehicle has a small reflective piece called an amber side reflector that helps other drivers see you from the side. The headlight assembly I'm talking about is an aftermarket part, which means it was installed on your vehicle by a third-party company, not the original manufacturer.
Risk if Unfixed
If the amber side reflector is missing, your vehicle's headlight assembly might not be visible to other drivers from the side, especially at night or in low-visibility conditions. This could lead to a vehicle crash because other drivers might not see you coming.
Free Fix
Your manufacturer will contact you to arrange for a full refund for the non-compliant headlight assembly. You don't need to take any action, but you should keep an eye out for the notice to ensure you get the refund.
