NHTSA recall 97E028000 · announced September 3, 1997 · Pathblazer · 156 units affected

The problem

EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION: HEADLAMP MODULATORS FOR MOTORCYCLES. THESE MODULATORS FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE MODULATION FREQUENCY REQUIREMENT OF FMVSS NO. 108, "LAMPS, REFLECTIVE DEVICES, AND ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT."

The risk

THE HIGHER FREQUENCY MODULATION IS A "FLICKER" RATHER THAN A STEADY STATE-CONTINUOUS "FLASHING."

What to do

DEALERS WILL EXCHANGE THE HEADLAMP ASSEMBLIES WITH HEADLAMPS HAVING THE CORRECT FREQUENCY MODULATION.
