## What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the headlamp low beam projector coating may not have properly cured during the manufacturing process.  Over time, this could cause the coating to become hazy, reducing the brightness of the low beam lamps.  Dim headlamps may result in reduced illumination of the roadway and its users, which could result in a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury.  Correction: Dealers will replace the headlamp assemblies.
