The problem
The vehicles were assembled with an incorrect front park/turn signal bulb which does not have sufficient candle power. This does not comply with FMVSS no. 108, "lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment."
The risk
Consequence of non-compliance: operators could fail to notice and heed the warning labels. Reduces candle power on the park/turn lights decreases the liklihood of vehicle operator's intent being seen by other motorists.
The fix
Dealers will replace the incorrect bulb with the correct bulb.
