Note: this investigation has resulted in
a vehicle safety recall. Odi has received 26 complaints alleging a partial or complete loss of the vehicle's exterior lights. The reports suggest the problem worsens over time with additional exterior lighting malfunctioning as the problem progresses. Most of the complaints report finding an overheated and melted fuse in the under-hood fuse box. The overheated 30-amp fuse (number f16 or sb16) protects, among other things, several exterior lighting circuits. Odi has opened this preliminary evaluation to evaluate the scope, frequency and consequence of the alleged defect. The odi reports cited above can be reviewed online at http://www-odi. NHTSA. Dot.
