What Happened

Your vehicle uses a combination lamp to provide light and reflectors to help other drivers see you. Some replacement lamps sold for your vehicle lack a critical amber side reflector.

Risk if Unfixed

Without this reflector, your vehicle may be harder for other drivers to see, especially at night or in low-visibility conditions. This could increase the risk of a crash.

Free Fix

Your dealer will replace the lamp with a new one that has the required amber side reflector. This repair is free, and you should schedule it as soon as possible.
