What NHTSA recorded

An improper bulb socket may exist in the tail lamp assembly. This may cause an unacceptable decrease in brightness levels in lamps used for rear signaling.

Remedy

Reduction in the amount of light emitted from rear taillights causes a safety hazard that could lead to a vehicle accident. Corrective action: dealer will replace rear lamp sockets without charge to owner.
