Plain-English summary

Maxzone Auto Parts Corporation is recalling certain DEPO-brand headlamps sold as replacement equipment for model year 2004 through 2008 Ford F-150 pickup trucks. The recall involves 2,286 units.

The replacement lamps may have areas of moisture inside the lens, causing them to fail to conform to the humidity requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 108. This defect may result in the headlamps not illuminating the roadway as brightly as intended, which reduces visibility for the driver and increases the risk of a crash.

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 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
