Exterior lights Vehicle recall #16V759000 · 2016 · 2,215 vehicles
What's wrong: The low beam headlights on the affected vehicles May not be properly adjusted. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (fmvss) number 108, "lamps, reflective devices, and assoc. Equipment."
Why it matters: If the low-beam headlights are out of adjustment, the driver's visibility May be reduced, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Mbusa will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and correct the headlight adjustment, as necessary, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin in November 2016.
