2011 LOTUS ELISE
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Lotus Cars Limited is recalling certain 2011 Elise vehicles manufactured between June 2010 and February 2011 due to a defective turn signal module. The module is incompatible with the vehicle's revised front headlight configuration and LED turn signal units. This defect can cause the turn signal lamps to flash at erratic frequencies when the hazard warning switch is activated, and if a turn signal lamp fails or flashes at an incorrect rate, the driver receives no visual warning that the malfunction has occurred.
The hazard is that drivers will not be alerted when their turn signals are not working properly, which increases the risk of a crash. Lotus will notify owners, and authorized dealers will replace the turn signal module free of charge. According to the recall record, owners should contact Lotus at 1-800-245-6887.
