Details
What's wrong: Due to the use of incorrect material by a supplier, the headlamp switch knob can fracture and separate from the headlamp switch.
Why it matters: This would cause difficulty for the driver to activate the headlamps, which could affect driver visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Dealers will replace the headlamp switch knob. Owner notification began April 9, 2001.
