Details

What's wrong: Affects vehicles equipped with comfort suspension. The headlights may be incorrectly adjusted due to a software error in the headlight control unit.

Why it matters: Incorrectly adjusted headlights can reduce the visibility of oncoming traffic and impair the dynamic driving control performance. Both scenarios increase the risk of a crash.

The fix: Dealers will update the headlight control unit software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed by February 2, 2024.
