Summary

Some vehicles equipped with LED or Discharge type headlights may exhibit white milky stains on the inner sur-face of the headlight lens. Some customers may complain of the poor appearance. This concern is caused by gas that emits from a gasket in the lamp unit. The gas adheres to the inner surface of the headlight lens and reacts with the anti-clouding coating and moisture in the air to create white milky stains. The gasket material has been improved to eliminate this concern.

Owners of these vehicles have filed 172 complaints in the lights category.
