What is wrong
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.
What can happen
INAPPROPRIATE, NON-STANDARD SIDE MARKER LIGHTS COULD REDUCE VISIBILITY OF VEHICLES AND INCREASE THE POTENTIAL FOR A CRASH.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
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.

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.
