- The problem
- Vehicle description: passenger vehicles. The instructions for properly aiming the headlighting system were omitted. This does not meet the requirements of fmvss no. 108, "Lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment."
- The risk
- If the headlamp assemblies are replaced, customers may not be able to properly aim the headlights.
- The fix
- Owners will be sent aiming instructions, and directions for affixing these inserts to the owner guides. If an owner so desires, a dealer can affix the inserts in their owner guide for them.

mirror to night but can't do much about the sideview mirrors. I've taken an informal poll with friends and family and the greater percentage of people have a similar response to mine. My eye doctor said that people with fair skin and light eyes (like me) have a much greater sensitivity to light. Help! I don't want to be an unsafe driver and I feel defenseless against these piercing lights! Thank you. Dt
