Yorkim recall: Exterior lighting
What is wrong
Guangzhou Yorkim Trading Co., Ltd is recalling certain Yorkim R7 H11 LED bulbs, sold through Amazon. These aftermarket LED headlight bulbs can create excessive glare and brightness to oncoming traffic.

What could happen
Excessive glare and brightness can decrease the visibility for oncoming drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.

Yorkim will provide a full refund. Owners may contact Guangzhou customer service at 1-861-052-2163.
