## What is wrong

Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc. \(MMNA\) is recalling certain model year 2017 Mirage vehicles manufactured October 28, 2015, to August 4, 2016 and equipped with High Intensity Discharge \(HID\) headlamps.  The affected vehicles may have been assembled without the headlight horizontal adjustment lockout clips properly secured.  As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirement of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard \(FMVSS\) number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."


## What can happen

Without the horizontal adjustment locking clip being secured, the headlight can be adjusted to either reduce the driver's visibility or blind oncoming vehicles. Both conditions can increase the risk of a crash.


## The remedy

MMNA will notify owners, and dealers will secure the horizontal locking clips as necessary, free of charge.  The recall began on September 3, 2016.  Owners may contact MMNA customer service at 1\-888\-648\-7820.  MMNA's number for this recall is SR\-16\-008.


## Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1\-888\-327\-4236 \(TTY 1\-800\-424\-9153\), or go to www.safercar.gov.
