DEFECT #1 - EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS

Posted on: 1994-10-18
Description
These vehicles were assembled with lighting control modules which can experience excessive current leakage due to damaged surface mounting capacitors.  This can cause loss of head lamps and parking lamps.

Consequence
Sudden loss of headlamps can cause reduced driver visibility which can result in a vehicle accident.  Also, the head lamps cannot be turned off, or they may turn on while the vehicle is parked, resulting in loss of battery charge and inability to restart the car.

Corrective Action
Dealers will replace the headlamp module.
