Exterior lighting:headlights
Problem: The driver side headlamp lens has an incorrect aim pad number on the lens. This does not comply with fmvss no. 108, "lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment."
Risk: Consequence of non-compliance: if these head lamps are re-aimed using a mechanical aiming device that utilizes the aiming pad numers, the resultant aim would be out of the specified range. This may cause a visibility problem increasing the potential for a vehicle accident.
Fix: Dealers will replace the driver side headlamp on vehicles with the correct outboard lower pad number.
