Exterior lighting: headlights
- What is wrong
- Vehicle description: class a motor homes equipped with a vinyl protective front cover. This cover includes a mesh which covers the front headlight assembly. This mesh interferes with the photometric performance of the headlights resulting in a noncompliance to fmvss no. 108, "lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment."
- Risk
- The interfering mesh causes the effective brightness of the headlights and turn signals to be less than required. The decrease in headlight brightness can decrease the ability to view the road while driving at night or in other instances where headlights would be needed. Also, the decreased brightness of the turn signals will affect the visibility of these signals to following vehicles.
- Remedy
- Owners will be provided with instructions and repair parts necessary to perform this recall. If owners so desire, they can have a dealer perform this remedy for them.
