What NHTSA recorded

The headlamp relay may fail in such a way as to cause the headlamps to fail to switch from low to high beam (or vice versa) when the control switch is operated. Also, the headlamps may shut off intermittently or completely.

Remedy

Dealer will inspect and, if necessary, replace the headlamp relay, without charge to owner.
