Details

What's wrong: Certain sedans fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard no. 108, "lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment." In the assembly of the headlamps, it is necessary to have a means to adjust the headlamps. Tamperproof caps to prevent horizontal adjustment of the headlamps are then installed. Some of these vehicles are missing the tamperproof caps.

Why it matters:

The fix: Dealers will install the missing tamperproof caps on the headlamp assemblies. Owner notification began January 20, 2003.
