What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).
The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.
Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (headlamp assembly) with explicit risks of fire and crash due to diminished visibility, meeting the criteria for a Severe rating.
Plain-English summary
Genera Corporation is recalling certain model TYC and Genera aftermarket replacement driver-side and passenger-side headlamp assemblies. These parts were manufactured between May 7, 2013, and August 31, 2014, and are intended for use on 2013-2014 Acura ILX vehicles. The affected part numbers are 20-9328-00 for the driver-side and 20-9327-00 for the passenger-side.
The recall is issued because excessive heat temperatures around the headlight bulb and reflector unit may diminish the output of the headlight and cause smoke, melting, and fire. This condition causes the vehicles to fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 108. The diminished light output may decrease the driver's visibility, increasing the risk of a crash, while the excessive heat increases the risk of a fire.
Genera notified its distributors on August 22, 2014. Distributors will attempt to identify owners that purchased the affected headlamp assemblies. Owners will be reimbursed upon return of the defective assembly. Owners may contact Genera customer service at 1-888-963-9888 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
