2008–2010 Kandi Coco KD08E & 2010 Kandi Coco KD18E recall: lights
⚠️ What's wrong
Kandi is recalling certain model year 2008-2010 KDO8E vehicles manufactured from october 1, 2007, through may 1, 2011, and model year 2010 KD18E vehicles manufactured from march 3, 2010, through may 17, 2011. These vehicles were built without rear side reflectors; therefore, fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 108, "lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment."
💥 The risk
Inappropriate, non-standard lights and reflectors could reduce visibility of vehicles increasing the potential for a crash.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will install the reflectors free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin during november 2011. Owners may contact kandi at 1-909-941-4588.
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.)
