Defect

The high-beam and low-beam headlight changeover switch uses an improperly designed contact structure, which allows solder flux to deposit on the contact surfaces. Continued use causes the switch contacts to develop poor electrical contact. In the worst case, the high-beam headlights may fail to illuminate.

Corrective action

Replace the turn signal switch assembly on all vehicles with a unit incorporating a corrected headlight switch.
