Details

What's wrong: Certain headlamp assemblies imported and sold as aftermarket equipment by sonar auto parts for use on 2004-2007 Ford f150 pickup trucks. During production, the headlamps were internally misaligned and they fail the photometry requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard no. 108, lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment.

Why it matters: The purpose of this standard is to reduce traffic crashes and deaths and injuries by providing adequate illumination of the roadway.

The fix: Sonar will notify owners and offer a full reimbursement for any noncompliant headlamps. The recall began on December 14, 2007. Owners can contact sonar at 866-558-4264.
