Issue
Certain vehicles were built with headlights that may allow horizontal adjustment. This is not allowed under Canadian regulations.
Safety risk
Headlights that are not properly adjusted could cause reduced visibility or glare for oncoming drivers, and could increase the risk of a crash.
Corrective actions
The company will notify owners by mail and instruct them to take their vehicle to a dealer to inspect the headlights. A blocking cap will be installed on the horizontal adjusters as necessary.
