What Happened
The headlight adjustment device in your vehicle may not properly move the headlight reflector when you adjust it. This is a safety issue that affects how well you can see while driving.
Risk if Unfixed
If you can't adjust your headlights correctly, you might not be able to see as well as you should at night or in low-light conditions. This could make it harder to see pedestrians, other cars, or road hazards, and increase the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
You'll receive instructions on how to adjust your headlights properly. Your dealer won't make any physical repairs, but will provide you with these instructions to follow in your owner's manual.
