## What is wrong

Certain vehicles equipped with High Intensity Discharge \(HID\) headlamps may not comply with the requirements of Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard \(CMVSS\) 108 \- Lighting System and Retroreflective Devices. The headlamps may have been built with an incorrect lens, which fails to meet the replaceable light source marking requirements of the standard. The incorrect lens is also missing optics required to meet the turn signal light output requirements of the standard. Missing lens optics can reduce turn signal visibility to other drivers and pedestrians, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will inspect and replace headlamps as necessary.
