What was wrong

Defect

THE PIN AREA OF THE REPLACEMENT BULB IS NOT WATER TIGHT. THIS DOES NOT COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FMVSS NO. 108, "LAMPS, REFLECTIVE DEVICES, AND ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT."

Risk

IF WATER WERE TO ENTER THE HEADLAMP ENCLOSURE THROUGH THE REPLACEMENT BULB, THE REFLECTIVE COATING WOULD DEGRADE OVER TIME. EFFICIENCY OF THE REFLECTIVE COATING WOULD BE REDUCED.

Manufacturer remedy

PHILLIPS WILL REPLACE THE NONCOMPLYING HEADLAMP ASSEMBLIES WITH NEW HEADLAMP ASSEMBLIES.
