Recall 2016245

The issue

Certain vehicles may not comply with the requirements of Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 108 - Lighting System and Retroreflective Devices. Forward lighting could be temporarily lost when switching from low beams to high beams due to a delay in activation of the high beams. Although low beam functionality returns if the operator switches back to low beams, the temporary is contrary to the requirements of the standard, and would reduce driver visibility, which could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will modify the wiring harness.

Description (français)

Certains véhicules ne seraient pas conformes à l’exigence 108 (système d’éclairage et dispositifs rétroréfléchissants) des Normes de sécurité des véhicules automobiles du Canada. Leurs phares pourraient s’éteindre temporairement lorsqu’ils passent des faisceaux de croisement à ceux de route, en raison d’un délai d’allumage des phares de route. Bien que les phares se rallument lorsque le conducteur passe aux faisceaux de croisement, ce phénomène contrevient aux normes susmentionnées et pourrait réduire la visibilité, ainsi qu’accroître les risques de collision causant des blessures et/ou des dommages matériels. Correction : les détaillants doivent modifier le faisceau de câbles pertinent.
