What is wrong

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."

Inappropriate, non-standard lights and reflectors could reduce visibility of vehicles increasing the potential for a crash.

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.
