EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS

Manufacturer
DOPE, INC.
What Happened
The headlight assembly on your vehicle is a critical safety feature that helps you see and be seen while driving. Unfortunately, some aftermarket headlight assemblies, including the one on your vehicle, don't meet safety standards because they're missing a reflective sticker on the side.
Risk if Unfixed
If your vehicle's headlight assembly is missing this sticker, you might not be as visible to other drivers, especially at night or in low-light conditions, which could lead to a crash.
Free Fix
You'll be notified by the manufacturer and can contact them at 1-626-272-1798 to arrange for a full refund for the noncompliant headlight assembly.
