NHTSA recall 16V498000
Exterior Lighting · General Motors, LLC
Details
What's wrong: The headlight assemblies are not marked with a three-digit identifier code used to properly aim the headlights. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (fmvss) no. 108, "lamps, reflective devices, and assoc. Equipment."
Why it matters: Without the identification code, the headlights may be improperly aimed during service, reducing nighttime visibility and increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Gm will mail owners instructions and adhesive labels, with the correct code, to install on their headlight assemblies. Owners may also bring the vehicle to a gm dealership for any assistance with applying the label, free of charge. The recall began on August 11, 2016.
