Autocar Xspotter Recall 19V922: Headlights May Shut Off Unexpectedly While Driving

NHTSA campaign 19V922, reported December 27, 2019, 3,448 vehicles potentially affected.

What this recall means for you

The headlamp relay can disconnect from the fuse box, which may cause the headlights to turn off while the vehicle is in use. Losing headlights reduces the driver's visibility, which raises the risk of a crash, especially at night or in poor weather.

The remedy is free. Authorized dealers will install a fuse box relay retainer to keep the relay securely connected. Owners will be notified by mail, and you can also contact Autocar customer service at 1-888-218-3611 or 1-877-973-3486 for more information.

Check your vehicle's VIN for open recalls and schedule the repair at an authorized dealer as soon as possible.
