The defect
THE RIGHT REAR TAIL LAMP ASSEMBLY MAY BE INCORRECTLY ASSEMBLED. THE MISASSEMBLED UNITS WILL RESULT IN REDUCED ILLUMINATION WHICH WILL CAUSE THE LAMP ASSEMBLY TO BE IN NON-COMPLIANCE WITH FMVSS 108 LAMPS, REFLECTIVE DEVICES, AND ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT. CONSEQUENCE OF DEFECT: REDUCED ILLUMINATION WHICH DOES NOT MEET THE FEDERAL STANDARD MAY NOT BE SUFFICIENT TO BE NOTICED ON THE HIGHWAY, THEREFORE MAY CONTRIBUTE TO AN ACCIDENT.
The remedy
REPLACE RIGHT REAR TAIL LAMP ASSEMBLY AS NECESSARY.
Notes
SYSTEM: TAIL LAMP/FMVSS 108.VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: STATION WAGONS.
A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
