Volkswagen caps were installed on the headlight vertical aim instead of the horizontal aim, allowing for horizontal adjustment of the headlight beam.
The short version
Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. reported a problem with the exterior lighting headlights. Here is what owners need to know.
Caps were installed on the headlight vertical aim instead of the horizontal aim, allowing for horizontal adjustment of the headlight beam. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."
Adjusting the horizontal headlight beam can increase glare, reducing visibility for the driver and increasing the risk of a crash.
Take it to a dealer — they will remove the caps from the vertical aim and install them on the horizontal aim, free of charge.
