What is wrong
On certain V8 Elite model vehicles equipped with LED headlamps, the use of the auto headlights mode may result in an increased electrical resistance of the contact points in the multi-function switch. Over time, this could cause the headlights to flicker and/or intermittently turn off while driving. An interruption in headlight function could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the multi-function switch with a switch containing redesigned contacts.
