Details
What's wrong: The headlights and taillights may not automatically illuminate in low ambient light when the headlight switch is placed in the "auto" position.
Why it matters: Vehicles following behind may not see the vehicle since no headlights and taillights would be illuminated, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Dealers will install a modified body electronic control unit.
