What is wrong
CERTAIN UMNITZA REPLACEABLE LIGHTING CAPSULES BRANDED AS PROLUMEN HID KITS, P/NOS H1, H3, H4, 9006, AND 9007. THE REPLACEMENT KITS FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 108, LAMPS, REFLECTIVE DEVICES, AND ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT. THEY MAY CAUSE A HIGHER THAN ALLOWED AMOUNT OF GLARE TO ONCOMING TRAFFIC.
What can happen
ONCOMING TRAFFIC MAY EXPERIENCE HIGHER THAN NORMAL AMOUNT OF GLARE WHICH COULD AFFECT DRIVER'S VISION, POSSIBLY RESULTING IN A VEHICLE CRASH.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
CUSTOMERS WHO PURCHASED THE NONCOMPLIANT KITS WILL BE NOTIFIED AND A FULL REFUND WILL BE PROVIDED. THE RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN ON FEBRUARY 27, 2006. OWNERS MAY CONTACT UMNITZA AT 925-922-5777.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
