Defect
The control unit governing the Adaptive LED headlights contains an incorrect beam axis adjustment program. When the push-button start is pressed and the ignition is switched ON, the headlight beam axis initialization may not execute correctly. As a result, the beam axis shifts upward, causing the headlights to fall outside compliance with Safety Standards Article 32.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, reprogram the Adaptive LED headlight control unit with the corrected/updated software for beam axis adjustment.
