“I had my headlights replaced under a recall. Roughly one year later my headlight is out again. It seems the problem has not been resolved. The headlight assemblies are very expensive and contain a lot of parts. I'm not sure where the problem lies, and therefor I'm not sure what needs to be replaced.”
