The short version

General Motors LLC reported a problem with the exterior lighting headlights. Here is what owners need to know.

WHAT

The headlight assemblies are not marked with a three-digit identifier code used to properly aim the headlights. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No.

WHY IT MATTERS

Without the identification code, the headlights may be improperly aimed during service, reducing nighttime visibility and increasing the risk of a crash.

WHAT TO DO

GM will mail owners instructions and adhesive labels, with the correct code, to install on their headlight assemblies, free of charge.
