The problem
The angle of the rear combination lamp is not within the proper specifications for fmvss no. 108, "Lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment."
The risk
Consequence of non-compliance: the rear combination lamps have diminished visibility and do not give sufficient warning signals to following motorists.
The fix
Dealers will install a bezel which will bring the angle of the lamp within fmvss specifications.
