What's wrong: The incompatible module may, under certain conditions cause all the LED turn signal lamps to flash at an erratic frequency when the hazard warning switch is depressed. In addition, in the event that either a front or rear turn signal lamp fails to illuminate or does not flash at the correct frequency when operated, the remaining functioning signal lamps on that vehicles side as well as the instrument turn tell tale…

Why it matters: The driver will not be visually alerted to the fact that one or more of the vehicles turn signal lamps is not operating correctly, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Lotus will notify owners, and dealers will replace the turn signal module free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin on or before December 19, 2011.
