What Happened
The headlight assemblies on your vehicle are designed to provide clear visibility and make your car more noticeable to other drivers, especially at night or in low-light conditions. However, in certain cases, the headlight assemblies on your vehicle may not meet the necessary safety standards.
Risk if Unfixed
If your headlight assemblies don't meet the safety standards, you may have reduced visibility, which could make it harder for other drivers to see you. This could lead to a higher risk of being involved in an accident, especially at night or in low-light conditions.
Free Fix
Your local INFINITI dealer will replace the headlight assemblies with new ones that meet the necessary safety standards. This repair is free, and you should schedule it as soon as possible to ensure your vehicle meets the safety standards.
