## What is wrong

THE VEHICLES WERE ASSEMBLED WITH AN INCORRECT FRONT PARK/TURN SIGNAL BULB WHICH DOES NOT HAVE SUFFICIENT CANDLE POWER. THIS DOES NOT COMPLY WITH FMVSS NO. 108, "LAMPS, REFLECTIVE DEVICES, AND ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT."


## What can happen

CONSEQUENCE OF NON\-COMPLIANCE:  OPERATORS COULD FAIL TO NOTICE AND HEED THE WARNING LABELS.  REDUCES CANDLE POWER ON THE PARK/TURN LIGHTS DECREASES THE LIKLIHOOD OF VEHICLE OPERATOR'S INTENT BEING SEEN BY OTHER MOTORISTS.


## The remedy

DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE INCORRECT BULB WITH THE CORRECT BULB.
