NHTSA recall 06E038000
Exterior Lighting · Honda (American Honda Motor Co.)
Details
What's wrong: Certain alfaotto combination headlamps sold as replacement lamps for use on the above listed passenger vehicles. Some combination lamps that are not equipped with amber side reflectors fail to conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard no. 108, lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment.
Why it matters: Without the amber reflectors, the vehicle will be poorly illuminated, possibly resulting in a vehicle crash without warning.
The fix: Alfaotto will notify owners and replace the headlamps free of charge. The recall began on May 10, 2006.
