1997 Product Recalls

ALSO, THE DECREASED BRIGHTNESS OF THE TURN SIGNALS WILL AFFECT THE VISIBILITY OF THESE SIGNALS TO FOLLOWING VEHICLES.

OWNERS WILL BE PROVIDED WITH INSTRUCTIONS AND REPAIR PARTS NECESSARY TO PERFORM THIS RECALL. IF OWNERS SO DESIRE, THEY CAN HAVE A DEALER PERFORM THIS REMEDY FOR THEM.
