NHTSA Campaign 01E010001

EXTERIOR LIGHTING

Issued by OUTBACK PRODUCTS, INC. · Reported Mar 13, 2001 · 4,710 vehicles affected

What's wrong

EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION: REAR "CLEAR" TAIL LAMPS, RED/WHITE CLEAR TAIL LAMPS, AND OBX GEN2 ALTERRA TAIL LAMP ASSEMBLIES MANUFACTURED FOR AFTERMARKET INSTALLATION ON CERTAIN PASSENGER VEHICLES WHICH WERE NOT MANUFACTURED WITH A REFLECTIVE MATERIAL AS REQUIRED UNDER FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 108, "LAMPS, REFLECTIVE DEVICES, AND ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT."

Consequence

WITHOUT THE REFLECTIVE MATERIAL, THE VEHICLE MAY NOT BE CLEARLY VISIBLE TO OTHER MOTORISTS WHICH COULD RESULT IN A VEHICLE CRASH.

Remedy

OUTBACK PRODUCTS WILL NOTIFY DISTRIBUTORS/OWNERS TO RETURN THE NONCOMPLIANT LAMPS FOR A FREE REPLACEMENT. OWNER NOTIFICATION IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN APRIL 2001. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT OUTBACK 650-873-8800.
