MITSUBISHI HEADLAMP
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Mitsubishi Motors North America is recalling headlamps used as service parts for 2012 Mitsubishi Lancer and Lancer Sportback vehicles. The headlamps were installed without a permanently sealed horizontal adjustment mechanism, which means they can be adjusted in ways that either reduce the driver's visibility or blind oncoming vehicles. Both conditions increase the risk of a crash and violate federal safety standards.
Mitsubishi will notify owners, and dealers will repair affected vehicles at no charge. The recall began on March 27, 2012. Owners should contact Mitsubishi Customer Relations Department at 1-888-648-7820.
