What NHTSA recorded
The involved vehicles may have been assembled with clear lamp bulbs instead of the correct amber colored bulbs. As a result, these vehicles do not conform to federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 108, "lamps, reflective devices and associated equipment", which requires that the front side marker lamps be amber when illuminated.
Remedy
The dealer will install amber bulbs in the front side marker lamps on the involved vehicles at no cost to owner.
