Check if your Vehicle has a Recall

 


Condition

General Motors has decided that certain 2010-2017 model year GMC Terrain vehicles fail to conform to Federal/Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 108. In these vehicles, a reflection caused by the headlamps’ housing can project a narrow beam of light 80 degrees outboard and 45 degrees upward of each lamp’s forward-center axis. When tested, the light emitted from this single point on each lamp may be brighter than the maximum designated in section S10.15.6 and Table XIX of FMVSS 108. The headlamp design allows a narrow beam of light from the lower beam lamp to reflect off of the inner surface of the high beam reflector. The lamps’ high beams are not affected by this condition. These reflections may cause glare or be distracting to other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.

 

Correction

Dealers will install headlamp appliques that address this issue.
