Details

What's wrong: These vehicles were built with the non-cycling power window circuit breaker and the cycling headlamp circuit breaker interchanged.

Why it matters: In the event of a short or overload in the headlampcircuit, both headlamps can go out without warning, rather than flashing as intended with the cycling circuit breaker. This could lead to reduced night time driver visibility, increasing the potential for a vehicle accident.

The fix: Dealers will inspect these vehicles, remove the circuit breaker and reinstall the breaker in the correct locations.
