Exterior lighting: fog lightsReported June 5, 2003 · 64,000 vehicles affected

What is wrong: On certain mini vans and passenger vehicles, the socket holder in the fog lights is installed in the lamp casing using pressure.

Risk: Should this occur, the bulb socket and the harness can drop inside the bumper and possibly but rarely, the heat generated by the bulb can cause the bumper to burn.
Remedy: Dealers will install a spring to prevent the socket holder from separating from the lamp case. Owner notification began on july 14, 2003.
