SALEEN, INC. recall for exterior lighting, reported to NHTSA on Feb 10, 2005, covering about 24 vehicles.
The problem
Certain two-seater coupes fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 108, "lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment." the front side marker light, that is behind the front wheel, needs to be as far forward on the vehicle as practical.
The risk
Inappropriate, non-standard side marker lights could reduce visibility of vehicles and increase the potential for a crash.
The fix
Dealers will change the design to have the front side marker light in front of the wheel and on the side of the bumper. The recall is expected to begin april 2005. Owners may contact saleen at 949-597-3837.
