Details

What's wrong: The owner manuals do not contain the requirement information pertaining to the vehicle headlamp aiming device. This does not comply with requirements of fmvss no. 108, "lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment."

Why it matters: If the headlamp assemblies are replaced, customers may not be able to properly aim the headlights.

The fix: Owners will be mailed an owner manual's insert which contains the appropriate information.
