Details
What's wrong: The tail light socket may have been improperly molded, resulting in the locking tab having insufficient force to retain the bulb.
Why it matters: If the bulb falls out of the socket, the brake or tail lamp function cannot occur.
The fix: Dealers will replace the tail lamp sockets.
