NHTSA's summary

TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN: DYNAMIC BENDING LIGHT DTC B232509/B232609 - MOISTURE ABSORBENT & BRACKET REPLACEMENT - This bulletin provides information to repair an inoperative Dynamic Bending Light (DBL) by replacing the moisture absorbent and bracket on some 2018-2022MY Stinger (CK) vehicles produced from October 11, 2017 through April 27, 2022, which may exhibit a MIL 'ON' with DTC B232509 or B232609 (active or pending). This may be due to an expanded moisture absorbent causing the bracket to interfere with the DBL module. New parts are available to address this condition (see chart below for details).
