Filing in context

For scale, 1,211 of the 4,890 filings in this archive report a larger number of affected vehicles; the vehicles involved here were manufactured over a span of about 7 years.
Defect
In the lighting system, the contact structure of the high-beam/low-beam changeover switch was improperly designed, allowing solder flux to adhere to the contact surfaces on some units. Continued use causes poor contact in the changeover switch. In the worst case, the high-beam headlights may fail to illuminate.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the turn signal switch assembly with one incorporating the corrected headlight switch.
