The problem
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.
