The issue

On certain vehicles, the headlamp switch knob may have been molded from a plastic material that is more brittle than the intended material. This material may be overstressed when the knob is installed on the switch, leading to a later fracture, and in some cases, separation of the knob from the headlamp switch. If this should occur, it may be difficult for the driver to activate the headlamps. Correction: Headlamp switch knob will be replaced with one made of the intended material.

Description (français)

Sur certains véhicules, le bouton du commutateur des phares peut avoir été moulé à partir d'une matière plastique qui est plus friable que prévu. Il se peut que cette matière ait été soumise à des efforts excessifs lors de l'installation du bouton sur le commutateur et que le bouton se brise ou, dans certains cas, se détache du commutateur. Si c'est le cas, le conducteur aura de la difficulté à allumer les phares. Correction : Le bouton du commutateur des phares devra être remplacé par une pièce fait du matériau prescrit.
