The problem
Certain sport utility vehicles equipped with halogen headlamps May experience an intermittent and eventual total loss of headlamp function.
The risk
The head lights May not operate properly which could result in intermittent or no headlight function. This could impair a driver's visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Dealers will inspect, and replace if necessary, the wiring harness and low beam bulb on both headlamp assemblies free of charge. The recall began on March 28, 2005. Owners May contact daimlerchrysler at 1-800-853-1403.
