## What is wrong

IMPURE LUBRICATING GREASE USED IN THE HEADLIGHT SWITCHES  COULD CONTAMINATE ONE OR MORE CONTACT POINTS. OPERATION OF THE HEADLIGHTS COULD  BE DELAYED OR NOT LIGHT WHEN THE SWITCH IS TURNED ON OR WHEN THE DIMMER SWITCH   IS OPERATED.                                                                                                                                                      CONSEQUENCE OF DEFECT: LOSS OF HEAD LIGHTS WHILE DRIVING COULD RESULT IN A       VEHICLE ACCIDENT.


## The remedy

REPLACE HEADLIGHT SWITCH AS NECESSARY.
