Description of the problem | My vehicle is experiencing the same issue as detailed in nhtsa campaign number: 14v125000. The issue appeared the day after recieving service at the dealership (hood was opened and closed). The dealer states the recall does not apply to my vehicle, but the headlights installed in my vehicle are of the type indicated in the tsb as being defective. As of now, i have been unable to locate a replacement part and have only one functioning headlight. (i'm assuming because no one will sell it since it's known to be defective). Please see the attached photo of the headlight installed in my vehicle (generation "20s"). Also attached is the tsb that shows any unit less than generation "24s" needs replaced (see page 13 as numbered in the footer). |
