Known issues on the 1989 CRX. Four recalls are on federal record for this model year, all tied to aftermarket combination lamp assemblies sold as replacement corner, bumper, headlight, and side marker lighting for the CRX. In each case the replacement lamps were built without the required amber side reflectors, which fail to meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 108 and can leave the car poorly illuminated to other drivers, decreasing lighting visibility and increasing crash risk without warning. Owners have filed 4 complaints for the year and no technical service bulletins are logged. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind the CRX's lighting and electrical systems are here.
Whether you're sorting out a lighting circuit, verifying reflector and lamp compliance, or working through a routine service interval, it keeps you on the OEM procedure for your specific 1989 CRX.
