## What is wrong

THE HEADLIGHTS MAY FLASH INTERMITTENTLY AS A RESULT OF THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH CIRCUIT BREAKER OPENING DUE TO OVERHEATING. EXTENDED CYCLING OF THE CIRCUIT BREAKER COULD RESULT IN LONGER AND MORE FREQUENT LIGHT OUTAGES.  LOSS OF HEADLIGHTS DURING VEHICLE OPERATION COULD POTENTIALLY AFFECT A DRIVER'S ABILITY TO NAVIGATE THE ROADWAY.

CORRECTION:  DEALERS WILL INSTALL A HEADLIGHT SWITCH INCORPORATING A REVISED DESIGN CIRCUIT BREAKER AND, IF REQUIRED, A WIRING HARNESS CONNECTOR AND WIRING WILL BE INSTALLED.
