The headlight assemblies on your vehicle may have a factory defect that affects the brightness of the turn signal lights. This could be due to a slight bend in the headlight bezel.
Risk if Unfixed
If the turn signal lights are not bright enough, it could be harder for other drivers to see your turn signals, increasing the risk of a collision.
Free Fix
Your dealer won't be replacing the headlight assemblies, but Maxzone will offer reimbursement for any defective headlamps. You can contact Maxzone at 909-822-3288 for more information.
