What is wrong
AN IMPROPER BULB SOCKET MAY EXIST IN THE TAIL LAMP ASSEMBLY. THIS MAY CAUSE AN UNACCEPTABLE DECREASE IN BRIGHTNESS LEVELS IN LAMPS USED FOR REAR SIGNALING.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
REDUCTION IN THE AMOUNT OF LIGHT EMITTED FROM REAR TAILLIGHTS CAUSES A SAFETY HAZARD THAT COULD LEAD TO A VEHICLE ACCIDENT. CORRECTIVE ACTION: DEALER WILL REPLACE REAR LAMP SOCKETS WITHOUT CHARGE TO OWNER.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
