| Investigations Summary: | This investigation was opened on Feb. 10, 2005. It was closed on Jun. 8, 2005. Improper installation of the original equipment headlight connector can cause increased terminal resistance and overheat the headlight connector. This problem can affect independently either headlight but does not cause simultaneous failure of both headlights. The problem also does not affect front parking lamps. As a result, the complaints typical report single failure of one headlight. There are no crashes or loss of vehicle control reported. A safety-related defect trend has not been identified at this time and further use of agency resources does not appear to be warranted. The closing of this investigation does not constitute a finding by NHTSA that no safety-related defect exists. The agency reserves the right to take further action if warranted by the circumstances. |
