Check your own vehicle. A recall applies only to vehicles within the affected build range. Enter your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls. Recall repairs are free at a franchised dealer.

What NHTSA recorded

The circuit wiring on these vehicles is arranged so that a short circuit in the rear taillights will also result in loss of power to the headlamps. For safety reasons the lighting system wiring should be independent.

Remedy

Vehicles will have an automatic reset circuit breaker installed to ensure continued headlamp illumination in the event of a short in other lighting systems.
