EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS

Manufacturer
DOPE, INC.
What Happened
The headlight assembly on your vehicle is the part that provides light when you turn on your headlights. The affected aftermarket lamps don't have a required safety feature that helps other drivers see you when you're turning.
Risk if Unfixed
If these lamps are installed on your vehicle, you may notice reduced lighting visibility, especially when turning. This could make you harder to see, increasing the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
As the owner, you'll be notified and offered a full refund for the non-compliant headlight assembly from Dope, Inc. You can contact them at 1-626-272-1798 for more information.
