## What is wrong

A REAR LAMP ON THESE VEHICLES MAY NOT ILLUMINATE BECAUSE THE METAL CAN IN THE LAMP SOCKET MOVES OR SEPARATES FROM THE PLASTIC SOCKET HOUSING. THIS CAN RESULT IN THE STOP/TAIL COMBINATION LAMP OR THE TURN SIGNAL LAMP NOT FUNCTIONING. THE CENTER HIGH MOUNTED STOP LAMP OPERATION IS NOT AFFECTED.

CORRECTION: BOTH REAR LAMP SOCKET ASSEMBLIES WILL BE REPLACED WITH AN IMPROVED ASSEMBLY.
