- The problem
- Vehicle description: passenger vehicles. The section of the owner's handbook titled "horizontal aim" does not specifically instruct an owner how to adjust the headlamp horizontal aim. This does not comply with requirements of fmvss no. 108, "Lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment."
- The risk
- A vehicle's headlamp would not be properly adjusted causing visibility problems to oncoming vehicles.
- The fix
- Owners are being provided with a label with the correct information on headlamp horizontal aim to be placed over the existing text in the owner's handbook. If an owner desires, their dealer can place the sticker in the owner's handbook for them.
