    2017 Mirage HID recall

    Don't know if this has been posted before, but there's a sorta new recall for 2017 Mirage's with HIDs (GT models).

    Recall Number
    16V675000
    Recall Date
    09/19/2016
    Component
    EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS
    Summary
    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."
    Consequence
    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.
    What Owners Should Do
    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.

    I actually think the standard halogen headlights have this protective feature too. The vertical adjustment (red) isn't covered, but you have to remove the white cap (blue) to adjust the horizontal beam placement. I could be wrong though.
