Plain-English summary

Guangzhou Cougar Trading Co., Ltd. is recalling certain Cougar Motor LED headlight bulbs. The affected models include CCD19-6215, CCD19-6322, CCD19-6888, CCD19-6254, CCD19-6398, CCD19-6126, CCD19-6777, and CCD19-6881 in sizes 9004, 9005, 9006, 9007, and 9012. Approximately 23,238 units are affected.

The bulbs fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108 because they can create excessive glare or brightness for oncoming drivers. This excessive light can reduce other drivers' vision, which increases the risk of a crash.

Guangzhou will notify owners, and dealers will replace the LED bulbs with halogen bulbs free of charge. Owners may contact Guangzhou customer service at 1-916-400-1487 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
