Summary

This bulletin supersedes the previously issued bulletin(s) listed below. The changes are noted in Red. 09-037/24 08/01/26 DESCRIPTION Some customers may complain that on rainy days, the front combination light may appear to flicker or flash when the vehicle is stopped. This is not a vehicle defect since the lights are functioning properly; but rather, it is a phenomenon that can occur due to light refraction from water running over the headlamp lens while illuminated. NOTE: Explain to the customer that the repair described in this TSB helps disperse the water running over the headlamp lens to avoid the water flow concentrating to the lens axis, but it does not eliminate the phenomenon completely. No mass production is scheduled. REPAIR PROCEDURE 1. Verify the customer concern. NOTE: The repair procedure below is shown on the right side combination light, and the procedure for the left side is the same as for the right side. Repair both left and right side front combination lights. 2. Open the hood and clean the upper surface of the front combination lights. 3. Install the protector (1) into the gap under the radiator grille upper face as shown (2).
