What’s wrong with it?
THE REDUCED LIGHT OUTPUT DOES NOT COMPLY WITH FMVSS 108,”LAMPS, REFLECTIVE DEVICES, AND ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT.” REDUCED LIGHT OUTPUTFROM HEADLAMPS DIMINISHES THE OPERATOR’S ABILITY TO SEE IN LOW LIGHT CONDITIONSAND COULD RESULT IN A VEHICLE ACCIDENT.
THE HEADLAMP EXPERIENCES A REDUCED LIGHT OUTPUT IN THE LOW BEAM FUNCTION BECAUSE OF A REVERSAL OF THE HIGH BEAM WIRE AND THE GROUND WIRE.

- NHTSA’s recall file doesn’t say whether anyone was hurt.
- Which ones, by part or lot: the recall’s report on NHTSA’s site gives them where the maker did; this file gives part numbers only where its maker listed them.
- How many have been returned or fixed isn’t in the notice.
