The problem
A brazilian domestic headlamp was inadvertently installed on these vehicles instead of the required u.S. Domestic assembly. This does not meet the requirements of fmvss no. 108, "Lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment."
The risk
Consequence of non-compliance: reduced lighting from these head lamps can cause a visibility problem increasing the potential for a vehicle accident.
The fix
Dealers will inspect both the left and right head lamp assemblies for presence of the aiming pads. If the head lamp assembly does note have these aiming pads, it will be replaced with the correct head lamp assembly.
