Known issues on the 1988 CRX. Four recalls are on federal record for this model year, and all four trace back to aftermarket exterior lighting sold to fit the CRX. Combination headlight, corner, and bumper lamp assemblies from four different suppliers were recalled for shipping without the required amber side reflectors, a violation of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 108 that leaves the car poorly illuminated to other drivers and raises the risk of a crash. The factory lighting and electrical procedures behind these systems are here.

If you're inspecting replacement lamp assemblies or checking the CRX's factory electrical circuits, it keeps you on the correct OEM specification for your 1988 CRX.
