## What is wrong

On certain vehicles, an instrument panel harness connector could melt, which may cause a loss of headlamp function.  Loss of headlamp illumination, should it occur during a rainy/snowy day, or during hours of darkness, could compromise the driver’s ability to see the road and its users, which could result in a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury.  Correction: Dealers will remove the harness connector and permanently join the wires.
