|---|---|
| Type | Statutory Recall (government-mandated recall) |
| Date filed | April 17, 2003 |

| Component | Other (Safety Lighting) |

Defect
The lighting switch contains two separate defects. First, improper assembly of the electrical wiring allows the wiring to detach from the connector or contact the turn signal lever cover during repeated lever operation, causing a broken wire. This may result in the headlights, parking lights, and fog lamps failing to illuminate. Second, improperly plated switch contacts wear abnormally during repeated turn signal lever operation. Conductive wear debris may short the circuit, keeping the turn signals continuously activated.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, verify the chassis number and lighting switch, and replace the lighting switch unit with a corrected part on all affected vehicles.
