Reason for concern

LIGHTS MAY FAIL WITHOUT WARNING

Reason for recall

It has been identified that due to a programing issue with the On-Board Supply Control Unit it is possible that the failure of one of the vehicle lights (dipped beam/main beam/daytime running light/rear fog light or indicator) may not be recognised by the control unit and therefore not shown in the instrument cluster. It is also possible that vehicle lights may be shown as faulty when they are not. Furthermore a failure of a dipped beam may not trigger a replacement response (activation of side lights). A light failure without a display in the instrument cluster or without replacement response can pose a danger of an accident especially in the dark.

Remedy

Recall all affected vehicles to reprogramme the On-Board Supply Control Unit.

How to check if the vehicle is recalled
