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.
