Issue

Certain vehicles fail to conform to Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 108 - Lighting System and Retroreflective Devices, as well as CMVSS 114 - Theft Protection and Rollaway Prevention. These vehicles were inadvertently programmed with incorrect Daytime Running Lamp (DRL) and theft protection calibration files during vehicle assembly. This could allow the driver to switch off the DRL system while the vehicle is underway. It could also allow non-dealership personnel to reprogram a replacement ignition key. A loss of DRL illumination could render the vehicle less visible to other motorists and to pedestrians during daylight hours, possibly resulting in a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will reprogram the Body Control Module.
