Defect, in the NHTSA record
Genera Corporation (Genera) is recalling certain model TYC and Genera aftermarket replacement driver-side (part number 20-9328-00) and passenger-side (part number 20-9327-00) headlamp assemblies manufactured May 7, 2013, to August 31, 2014 for use on 2013-2014 Acura ILX vehicles.
