What is wrong
A spring in the head lamp portion of the head park lamp switch can fail preventing latching of the head lamp portion of the switch in the "on" position.
The risk
The head lamps would not stay illuminated resulting in reduced driver visibility.
The fix
Dealers will inspect head/park lamp switch build date codes and replace switches with suspect date codes.
