Issue
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.
