What was wrong

Defect

Maxzone Auto Parts Corporation (Maxzone) is recalling certain DEPO-brand headlamps sold as replacement equipment for certain model year 2004 through 2008 Ford F-150 pickup trucks. The replacement lamps may have areas of moisture inside the lens. As such, the headlamps fail to conform to the humidity requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 108, “Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."

Risk

The headlamps may not illuminate the roadway as brightly as intended, resulting in reduced visibility for the driver, increasing the risk of a crash.

Manufacturer remedy

Maxzone will replace the noncompliant headlamps free of charge. The recall began on February 14, 2014. Owners may contact Maxzone at 1-909-822-3288.
