The problem
Miswiring of the low beam headlamp receptacle for the replaceable halogen lamp causes a noncompliance to fmvss no. 108, "Lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment."
The risk
This condition causes reduced lighting levels with the low beam operation resulting in reduced visibility during dark driving conditions.
The fix
Dealers will inspect and modify the motor home wiring to provide correct circuit connections.
