EXTERIOR LIGHTING

Manufacturer
SABERSPORT
What Happened
The combination corner and bumper lamp assembly on your vehicle is the part that helps make you visible to other drivers when you're changing lanes or turning. Some aftermarket versions sold for your car don't have the required reflective strips on the side.
Risk if Unfixed
Because these lamps don't have the side reflectors, other drivers might not see your vehicle when it's changing lanes or turning, which could lead to a collision.
Free Fix
Sabersport will give you a full refund for the non-compliant lamps. You should contact them at 1-909-598-7589 to arrange for the refund.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING

Manufacturer
CK MOTORSPORT, INC.
What Happened
Your vehicle's replacement headlight assembly is missing a safety feature: amber reflectors. These reflectors help make your vehicle visible to other drivers from the side.
Risk if Unfixed
Without amber reflectors, your vehicle's side and corner lights won't be visible from the side, making it harder for other drivers to see you at night — and you could get into an accident without warning.
Free Fix
Your dealer will replace the non-compliant headlight assembly with a safe one that includes the required amber reflectors at no cost to you. This replacement is free, so schedule it as soon as you can.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING

Manufacturer
PRO-A MOTORS, INC.
What Happened
The amber reflectors are small pieces on your turn signals and headlights that help make your vehicle more visible to others on the road. Some replacement lamps sold for your vehicle don't have these reflectors, which could make your vehicle harder to see.
Risk if Unfixed
Without the amber reflectors, your vehicle could be poorly illuminated, especially to other drivers at night. This could lead to a crash without warning, which could cause serious damage or injury.
Free Fix
Your dealer will work with Pro-A Motors to repurchase the affected lamps. You should contact Pro-A Motors at 323-838-2988 to arrange for a refund.
