The problem
The involved vehicles may have been assembled with clear lamp bulbs instead of the correct amber bulbs in front park and turn signal locations. As a result, these vehicles do not conform to federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 108, "Lamps, reflective devices and associated equipment".
The fix
Dealer will inspect and, if necessary, replace clear park and turn signal lamp bulbs with amber bulbs at no cost to owner.
