What NHTSA recorded

Vehicle description: transit buses. The daytime running lamp (drl) module can over-heat and shut down after as little as 45 minutes of high beam use. This will cause total headlamp failure of both high and low beam.

Possible consequence

If the drl module over-heats and the headlamps go out, there is a significant risk of a vehicle crash.

Remedy

Owners will be provided with detailed repair instructions and new drl modules.
