Have you thought about your vehicle’s lights lately? I’m not just talking headlights but interior lights! This is a thing. You can show off your personality, add safety, and upgrade your ride. Coach will tell us about it. And answer your repair questions. 


Recalls:

  • Teslas are being Recalled for Obscured Warning Sounds - third sizable recall in just 10 days The culprit this time is the Boombox function obscuring the pedestrian warning system. Tesla will perform an over-the-air software update for free to fix the issue. The automaker will begin notifying owners April 5, but in the meantime, those with questions can call Tesla at 877-798-3752

 You can find out if your car has a past recall by going to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s website: https://www.nhtsa.gov/recalls and inputting your VIN number. Or find their SaferCar app.


In the news: U.S. highway safety regulators are about to allow new high-tech headlights that can automatically tailor beams, so they focus on dark areas of the road and don’t create glare for oncoming drivers. “adaptive driving beam headlights”
