What Happened
Your vehicle's headlight may have a problem with the aluminum film inside the reflector, which can cause it to peel off and reduce the light output.
Risk if Unfixed
If the film delaminates, your headlight might not shine as brightly as it should, which can make it harder to see the road and increase the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
You'll get a free replacement of both headlights from your dealership, so don't worry about the cost - it's on Honda!
