WASHINGTON — Lotus is recalling 52 2011 Lotus Elises because of defective turn-signal lights, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
"These vehicles were fitted with turn-signal modules which were not compatible with the revised front headlight configuration which includes the integral front LED turn-signal units," said NHTSA in its recalls summary of the problem. "The incompatible module may, under certain conditions, cause all the LED turn-signal lamps to flash at an erratic frequency when the hazard warning switch is depressed.
"The driver will not be visually alerted to the fact that one or more of the vehicle's turn-signal lamps is not operating correctly, increasing the risk of a crash."
Lotus dealers will replace the turn signal module. The automaker has not yet set a date for the recall.
Owners can contact Lotus at (800) 245-6887.
Inside Line says: If you own a 2011 Lotus Elise, be aware that a recall is in the works.

I didn't know turn signals worked with the hazards on on any car. Why would you ever use the two together?
