2003–2004 Saleen S7 recall: lights

⚠️ What's 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.

💥 The risk

Inappropriate, non-standard side marker lights could reduce visibility of vehicles and increase the potential for a crash.

🔧 The fix

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.

Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
