- Published by: NHTSA \(United States\)
- Campaign number: 05V049000
- Manufacturer: SALEEN, INC.
- Reported: 2005\-02\-10
- Component: EXTERIOR LIGHTING
- Units potentially affected: 24

## 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 remedy

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.


## Notes

CUSTOMERS MAY ALSO CONTACT THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION'S VEHICLE SAFETY HOTLINE AT 1\-888\-327\-4236 \(TTY 1\-800\-424\-9153\), OR GO TO HTTP://WWW.SAFERCAR.GOV.
