## What is wrong

THE PUSH PULL HEADLIGHT SWITCH MAY HAVE ELECTRICAL        CONTACTS WHICH ALLOW AN INTERMITTENT HEADLIGHT CIRCUIT CAUSING HEADLIGHT TO      FLICKER OR SUDDENLY GO OUT.                                                                                                                                       CONSEQUENCE OF DEFECT: SUDDEN LOSS OF THE HEADLIGHTS UNDER SEVERE WEATHER OR     NIGHTTIME DRIVING CONDITIONS COULD REDUCE DRIVER VISIBILITY WHICH MIGHT RESULT   IN A VEHICLE CRASH WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING.


## The remedy

REPLACE HEADLIGHT SWITCH AS NECESSARY.


## Notes

SYSTEM: HEADLIGHT SWITCH. VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER CARS AND TRUCKS/ VANS.
