What NHTSA recorded

The defect involves the 25 amp headlight fuse holder. There may be excessive electrical resistance caused by the looseness of the rivet holding the fuse holder to the terminal plate. Excess resistance may cause the soldered end of the fuse to melt. An open circuit could occur and the headlights would not operate.

Remedy
