Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

After the wire is repeatedly bent, it has fractured and separated. When this occurs, the low-baem headlamps will not illuminate. As the ubec housing cools and contracts, the low-beam headlamp function may return. This condition is not affecting the high-beam headlamps, marker lamps, turn signals, daytime running lamps or fog lamps. …”
